Re: IFS Performance

I find that IFS performance can be abysmal - and not too good at that! I was at 
a place that was using ACT! for CRM, the version with its own database - latest 
uses a bundled SQL Server, so cannot be put on an iSeries at all. Anyway, I put 
the data files on a 270. We had *TYPE2 on all the IFS (non-library, i.e.). It 
was a dog. When we moved the files to a Win2K Pro box, it flew - and it was 
around 1 GHz processor.

So I think there is a basic flaw performance-wise in the IFS. I have no idea 
why - *TYPE2 was supposed to help, but it is not enough for me to recommend 
iSeries as a file server in a high-demand situation.
