Re: Subsystem and Apache Setup for Zend Server 6

One other point.  Mike suggested that tuning the SQL server jobs is 
important, and he is right.

The database jobs should be in their own memory ( the QSQSRVR and 
QZDASOINIT jobs ) not associated with anything else.  Of course you need 
enough memory to do it with as well.
