RE: Performance tips for WindowsNT on /400?

["Karen Summers" <ksummers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have a similiar environment (We actually have 16G and 128M RAM at V4R4 -
all desktops at 128M 100mb/s) and it takes almost a full minute to get a
5250 sign on (from 10 feet away).  Interactive response is down to a few
seconds, but I get better response time from a client's 640 via a 56K modem.
EGADS!

David Mace helped out with a few suggestions, but it's still not great.

Is anyone from IBM out there?  Is the 170 just a dog?!?

Subject: Performance tips for WindowsNT on /400?


I've got a customer who has an INS board, running Windows NT 4.0 (SP4), 12g
disk (across 4 disks), 64m RAM.  Three primary users, each with 128m RAM in
their NT Workstations (SP4). Everyone connects via TCP/IP at 100mb/s. Their
AS/400 (9406-170) is at V4R3, a cum package installed 10 weeks ago.
Performance adjustment is off, performance monitor is off, disk mirroring
is in effect. They no longer do AS/400 stuff, just NT.  It looks as if they
have plenty of free space on the NT (800m free in D:, 176m free in E:), the
AS/400 disk usage is at 87%. They have Timberline software installed on the
INS board, and it runs like a dog.

What can I do to enhance the performance?
