RE: Have you read this?

Rick,

Not that I'm trying to defend the bloody governor, but there are also normal
functions performed by the CFINT01 task that typically take 3% to 15% of the
CPU.  Whenever I caught the governor being triggered on the server boxes I used
to work with, the share of CPU it was grabbing was usually 30% or more.  Just
now on the 620-2180 that we have here (which is not a server system and is
supposed to have a completely unfettered Apache CPU running at full speed),
CFINT01 took 3.2% over a 5 second timespan, and 4.4% over a 1 minute 41 second
span.  This is consistent with what I normally see on this box.

It's interesting that IBM'ers are actually starting to use the term "governor" -
when I used it 3 years ago they did everything they could to avoid it. ;)

YEAH!  I sometimes pull up wrksysact and watch my good friend CFINT01
sucking up 5 -15 % of my processor.  I love it!  I was really concerned
about what I would do with all that excess processing power!  I suppose I
have no valid complaint in this matter but it sure does PI** me OFF!

Regards
Rick
