Re: upgrading to new i5 and interactive

It depends on how much of your heavy load is interactive rpgsql. If it's 
20%, the new system will fly. If it's 80%, then your customer won't get 
much, unless they can shift their query processing to batch.

When we upgraded from a 500 to a 720, we had very little increase in 
interactive capacity, but the heavy lifting was mostly people running 
queries. After the upgrade, their queries actually ran faster in batch! 
Since then, once they saw that happen, there's much less interest in 
hitting the F5 key.

Have customer on S10 with 24 cpw interactive and 73 cpw server.
Proposed i5 520 low end has 30 cpw interactive and 500 cpw server.
That is barely an increase for interactive apps. 
Some of the current heavy load is interactive rpgsql.
Is the new box interactive only going to be minimally faster? Next 
step is 60/1000 cpw.
