Good stuff lads....

T-S has
8170 and 8173 on Dynix/PTX no (measurable) impact 80,817x and 9ir2 on my NT/2K machines no impact either

would it be a problem to set up an 8174 test instance and give it a whirl ?

ref metalink bug 918002 and also 1210242 (although meta says these were fixed in 8170 )
also 888551

doc 62143.1 is probably the reference for this stuff.
