| This would help, but is not necessarily needed. It is explained
best in the DECwindows User guide, chapter 8.
Another method that I've successfully used on 8MB 3100's is to
enable mild working set decrementing. The machines really fly
after I've done this. Here are the SYSGEN param values that
I used:
! The following 5 parameters enable working set decrementing
PFRATH=80
PFRATL=1
LONGWAIT=10
WSINC=100
WSDEC=30
Maybe they will help you too.

re: .1
Can you explain why mild working set decrementing helps my
situation? Sorry, but it would help me understand the total
picture?
Thanks

| Working set decrementing will take memory away from inactive processes on your
workstation, and give it to those processes that are faulting heavily.
To serve DECW: ("It's a cookbook!")
1. Using session manager customize, security submenu, allow access to the
remote account that you'll use in step 2.
2. Log into that account (say, on your boot node). Do a
SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=MYWS::/TRANSPORT=DECNET. Then run any DECWindows
application (Clock, Notes, etc.). It will open its window back on MYWS::
I don't think it will help matters much if all you've got for a remote host
(client in DECW terminology) is a Microvax II.

I don't think so. Working set decrementing only happens when a process hits
quantum end, and an inactive process, by defintion, doesn't hit quantum end.

| 2568.5 | Ah yes | AGBEAR::HORNER | A.G.Bear, Old fashion teddy bear | Thu Apr 19 1990 08:49 | 9 |
| .4 is right. Another trick that I do is to submit a FREEMEM job
from DECW$LOGIN.COM with a delta time far enough in the future to
let all the login activity die down. FREEMEM will purge everyone's
working set down to minimum. Those processes that are active and
need more memory will get it back. Working set decrementing helps
keep this under control. Page faults tend to stay "soft" on our
systems, so everything stays responsive.

| Something that I've found works well is to trim wsquota low and let
wsextent be large so that you live in overdraft most of the time.
Also, trim balsetcnt low so that you force swapping. You'll get slower
response moving from appliation to application, but it cuts down on the
paging rate while you use a single application.
