[KLUG Members] RS6000

[randy perry]

Ok, this is slightly off kilter being an AIX issue, and targeted at
Adam.  But, we all learn from listening and maybe else has some input
here.  I am having some performance issues with my AIX box.  It is an
IBM RS6000 604e at 332Mhz (43P Model 140).  I don't have any experience
with Motorola processors and don't know what to expect from it.  It is
running our accounting package on a progress database.  It also has
loaded EGB gateway software to tie from progress to Microsoft SQL
server.  We only have around 12 users that access the accounting
software and only when a web pricing (on average 20 accesses per day)is
requested does it tie back to retrieve data.  

So here are the questions:
1. What do I use for benchmarking performance
2. What should theses values be.
3. If I need a new RS6000, what would be a good recommendation.

Thanks.
Randall Perry.
