Hi all
I'm trying to get a better understanding of Informix threads and performance. I have an instance using these values:
NETTYPE ipcstr,12,200,CPU
VPCLASS cpu,num=12,noage,autotune=1,max=14
Is performance impacted when the number of threads starts to reach the 200 per thread?
Does autotune modify the number of connections per thread, or does it only add another VP?
If I extract and count the threads for each CPU VP, and find them over the 200 originally configured, is that just autotune doing it's thing, and would I get better performance by increasing the starting number of connections per thread?
Once threads have been established on a poll, does the database move the threads to an available VP, or can I randomly get congestion on specific VP while others are dormant?
I've seen a couple of mentions while wandering the interwebs about sleeping forever threads needing to be removed to increase performance? But no further explanation of why.
Yeah, that was probably more questions than I had when I first opened this post. Thanks in advance for those patient enough to answer.
