In Response To: dbimport EXTREMELY slow (Quman)

Change your lru_min/max_dirty parameters from 20/40 to 1/5, also increase
CLEANERS to 64 (128 if you actually have 4K page dbspaces in addition to 2kpage
dbspaces.

I am doing dbimport with IDS 10UC5 on AIX 5.3.

Watched,

large number(100,000+) of dirty pages were SLOWLY written to disk.

piece of online log,

20:08:47 Maximum server connections 0
20:08:47 On-Line Mode
20:15:15 Fuzzy Checkpoint Completed: duration was 56 seconds, 1
buffers not flushed.

20:15:15 Maximum server connections 1
21:00:24 Fuzzy Checkpoint Completed: duration was 2409 seconds, 7
buffers not flushed.

21:00:24 Maximum server connections 1
21:01:54 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 61 seconds.

21:01:54 Maximum server connections 1
21:01:56 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Stopped.

See the above LONG check point!

Any suggestions are deeply appreciated!

Thanks
