From yong321@yahoo.com Fri, 17 Aug 2001 11:42:36 -0700 From: yong huang Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 11:42:36 -0700 Subject: CPU number vs speed (Was: Comment on 'Practical Oracle 8i') Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I read Cary Millsap's message (on newsgroup or a mailing list). Based on my understanding, he says if user transactions come in less frequently, fewer faster CPUs (like on HP typically) gives better response time; if transactions come in frequently, it's better to have more slower CPUs (typically what Sun does).
