Best Practices

Related to an earlier question I floated through this forum, I've been
investigating how big was big enough on the NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE parameter.
On page 230 of the "Domino 6 for iSeries Best Practices" redbook, they lay
out some variables to compare and they make the (sort of paraphrased)
statement that  "The NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE is too large if
Database.Database.BufferPool.PerCentReadsInBuffer is between 94% and 99%,
but
Database.DbCache.MaxEntries is about 40% larger than
Database.DbCache.HighWaterMark."

A little later, it indicates that it's just right if the
Database.DbCache.MaxEntries is not more than 20% larger than
Database.DbCache.HighWaterMark.

So I'm taking this to mean that if Database.DbCache.MaxEntries is more then
40% larger, I should consider adjusting the size of the pool down.  For
example, if Database.DbCache.MaxEntries is 1500 and
Database.DbCache.HighWaterMark is 900, the pool is larger than necessary.

Does that sound right to you?

Thanks,
