Re: Very Slow

Is PC or HP Server?
If Server then provide the list mentioned by Mike.

Thanks

Re: Very Slow

Give it longer legs or buy it some new faster shoes. Maybe have a computer bigger than it start chasing it.

Without a whole lot more information it's going to be hard to give you a more serious answer.

Re: Very Slow

If its an HP-UX box, try this script. It is a configurable, background performance data collection script. You set the measurement period.

If its a PC, buy some more memory and have a nice day. Thats the best bang for your buck.

Forum ettiquette.

Always an OS
Always a model number
Some idea what you are running.

Okay Bruce?
