Since DEC has recently reduced it's prices on the VAX  11/730  my
engineering group is thinking about acquiring our own machine and
moving off of a shared 11/780.  If there is anyone running 4.1bsd
on  an 11/730 I would like to here from you. We are interested in
how many engineers we can expect to put on one 11/730.  Our  com-
puter usage on the 11/780 can be moderate to heavy at times.

Some specific questions that come to mind are:

  1) How is your system configured (memory, disk, etc.)?
  2) How many users does your system support?
  3) What is the typical system load?
  4) At what load does the system become annoying to use?

For questions 3 & 4 if you could supply  run  queue  values  from
"uptime"  that would be great. Even better would be statistics as
given by "vmstat". Thanks in advance for any information.
