We would like to boost the speed of a PowerGen sync from PBG command. It currently takes 75-100 minutes to execute the PowerGen operation. We have a quad-core CPU and the maximum usage we see is 25%, which seems to be 100% of a single core. Is there a way to enforce utilization of all cores? We went from a dual core with a regular hard drive to a quad core with an SSD and the performance decreased. We can only assume that it's the CPU since the dual core was at 50% during the execution while the quad core is at 25%.
Is it a Synchronization operation that takes 100 minutes? or Bootstrap Import? Send an output log with the details.
Most of the time (>98%) taken by PowerGen to perform an operation is spent in PowerBuilder DLLs that PowerGen calls through the Sybase-supplied interface (called ORCA). So optimizing the part of PowerGen that we have control over won't have a noticeable effect. Many users have reported significant improvements with solid-state disks.
Regards,
Phil
