Zhu,

The condition that will cause response time to get /worse/ is if your CPU upgrade speeds up some number of competing processes, allowing them to compete more vigorously (that is, same number of calls in a smaller time window) for the resource that was already responsible for a lot of your more-important application's response time before the upgrade.

Subject: Re: CPU upgrade caused application slow down

Hi, Waleed:

    That is what I do everytime I reorgnized a table. The table that got reorgnized was an IOT table with Overflow segment. After table recreated, I
move overflow segment to make it sorted.

    One more thing, the table is not a key table of the applications running
on this server, thoug the table is pretty big in size.

    I guess the difference in response time is from the network layer.But I
cannot prove it. No improvement in response is ok for CPU upgrade, as CPU
time is just part of the total response time, but it should not get longer:(, right?

Thanks
Zhu Chao
