I am just about to buy INFORMIX RDBMS, 4GL etc.

It fits the bill in most respects but I have just heard that it is 
VERY SLOW. Apparently it spends a lot of time doing disk transfers
when it should be doing something else.

I have sent off for OLTP benchmarks but feel that they may not provide
a straight answer.

Has anyone heard similar reports or had bad experiences with INFORMIX ?
