Servlet speeds up when STRDBMON is executed

[DReid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Everyone,

I have a web application that has been in production for over one year.
Since this week the users have been complaining about how slow it has
started to run. I tracked down the code and found out that the problem
might be in the SQL statements. I started DB Monitor on the ISeries to
track the error.
This is what is strange. The application used to take 32 seconds to
complete the process now completes it in less than 2 seconds when DB
monitor has started. I started and stopped the monitor and the result is
always the same.
My question: What does STRDBMON do that would cause the statements to
speed up?


Thanks 
Deon
