Hello all,
        If this is a well discussed topic I am sorry. I have been told that
if I change the value of UDABURSTRATE from it default (-1 on my microVMS
4.5 system) to a value of 4 disk throughput will improve. Since the machine
in question supports a group of Astronomers thrashing 2-D images on and
off disk if this process could be speeded up it would all go faster.
        Is there anybody out there who can tell me if this change of parameter
is good, bad ro a waste of a reboot?
        Many thanks in advance. If I collect interesting answers I will
collate them for the net.
