We recently installed VMS 4.1 on one of our VAX's, only to find that the
performance degraded dramatically.  The local experts tell us that the
machine now needs more than 4 MBytes of memory.  Unfortunately our
old memory controller won't handle any more memory even if we could
afford it.  Has anyone had a similar experience?  Do you really need
more memory or is this operating system just a lot slower?
