Re: PUR500 Performance

So you have virtually NO data and the performance is still horrible?  Are
your numbers only active records, or are those the total physical file
record counts?

Have you looked at an executing transaction in detail?  Is it doing a lot of
physical I/O or just racking up CPU time without I/O?  If it's doing I/O,
look at which files are getting the activity and look into purging/archiving
those files.  If it's spinning up CPU time without any I/O, look at any SQL
or OPNQRYF activity that might be going on and try to either fix the code or
purge those files.
