Hi folks
any ideas?

our application is running fine, with statements tuned as much as possible but there is still a problem with what looked like locking when multiple users were active.

after investigation, it turned out that the CPU was simply busy with the first request so could not process the second until the first was complete.

I am surprised by this as of course i need all the users to get good response times and not be 'queued' for the cpu.

is there any way to limit/smooth the cpu usage for the users? (not an absolute max returning an error like from the profile, but a high watermark so no one user can clog up the system)

thanks
