RE: Question Re: Browser response time.

["Morrison, Doug" <dmorrison@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have been struggling with this issue for the past few months.  We
have an 820 with 950 cpw (P30) on a 1GB backbone LAN and our users tell
us that browser is still to slow.

We have been working with IBM and an AS/400 performance consultant and
have made several configuration changes in the AS/400 and the ODBC
driver, which have improved browser response but not as much as the
users would like.  The only recommendations from the consultant that we
haven't implemented yet are to add another 1GB of memory to the AS/400
and force all of the ODBC connected jobs QZDASOINIT to run in a separate
memory pool.  The consultant says this should help but can't say how
much.

The biggest gains we have seen in browser performance are:

Have the users setup a subset preference so their initial screen is not
all records.  Use PC's with lots of memory (min 512K), good video cards,
and at least W2000.  Our P4's with XP are better than our P3's with
W2000.

What OS are you running on your PCs.  We saw a significant boost in
response time when we moved from Win98 to Win2000.  We also upgraded our
network from 10Mb to 100Mb, that helped in pushing the data down the
line
faster.

One thing is for sure, the browser is never fast enough, right?

Good Luck,
Mike
