Re: Question on effectiveness of additional processors

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Do you have more than one user?

Do you have more than one batch job running at a time?

What's your CPU usage look like when the system is busy?

We add additional processors temporarily at the end of every month to
handle month end demand...but we've got 10,000+ users on an LPAR.
