RE: WAS / Webfacing performance??

What is going on with you network?  What about the individual PC?  1GB
RAM is barely enough to load WAS 6.0 so I would look at adding memory
first.  Dan Cohn at Redwood Computer is a good source for used iSeries

Subject: WAS / Webfacing performance??

Dear all,

We have Webfaced Applications running under WAS 6.0 running on a 520
Express (1GB RAM).
On average the performance is very good (comparable with Green Screen).
Sometimes however the performance drops and it takes minutes to get a
response.
That happens most often when initiating a session.
Less common it happens while executing the main (larger) programs (with
lots of fields on the screen).
There seems no relation with the total of users using the system at that
moment.
Stopping the session and initiating a new one most often give a normal
response time. 

When it happens we do not see a lot of CPU usage.
We do see a lot of Non DB paging.

What could be the reason/cause for this?
What can be done to get rid if it/get it under control?
