We have a 510 with 512 megs of memory and 50 gigs of dasd.  We have something 
like 14  Synon developers (hard to keep track of the new guys!)  The 510 gets 
very bogged down if you let multiple gens run simultaneously.  Ditto for 
multiple compiles.  Moral: try to keep these busy folks from jumping job 
queues!  Synon has a large amount of overhead, both in memory and dasd.  The 
RISC box is much faster than the CISC box was.
