Supposedly I am on this list, but I haven't received any messages for a
week.  So here's a question:

What will performance of Medley Loops on a Sun/4-110 be like?  I'm getting
8 Mb local memory and running diskless with a Sun-3/160 as server.  I'll
have two of these Sun-4's running off the same fileserver and other people
are using the fileserver too.  In fact, someone wants to do work on the
fileserver as a regular workstation, too.  The only positive note (in terms
of disk performance) is that our application will probably be small most
of the time - a small inference engine and software hopfully, and later
the knowledge base will get big.  But we could always develop with a small
KB and only load the complete KB when testing or demoing.

My estimates suggest that normally 8MB of local memory will keep the
Sun-4 from paging very much until the application grows above 2 Mb of
resident set size.

Anyone have anything to say about this?


Thanks,
Steve Clark
