  • Subject: Re: How are CPU Speed and Overall CPW Related?

Just thought of another related question.  The V4R4 Performance Planning
Guide characterizes the machine's maximum CPW rating as a figure that might
be constrained by memory and disk.  This may sound like a dumb question, but
consider it in light of the fact that a 100 Mhz  machine runs a CPU bound
program faster than a 200 Mhz machine, as delineated in my previous post.
If I upgraded my machine from 320 MB Ram to the maximum 832 MB, would an
individual program run faster, even though the program used little memory?
Is there a governor on the CPU that might be adjusted by the addition of
memory?  Sorry if this sounds rediculous.

Thanks,

Nathan.
