DW with 16G Buffer Cache on Sol8 E15K with 36 CPUs and 144Gb RAM. DBAs wanted it even though nothing called for it; doesn't seem to have hurt anything, though I can't say it's helped much either. Partitioning and indexing has been *much* more useful for reducing I/O. Just like any other DW. We did it just because we had 144Gb of RAM to use up; we've still never been able to use more than 50Gb or so total...

Thank you so much, Jared. Welcome back, Steve!
