Just what does "the performance is so uniformly bad" mean exactly?
Re-reading some of their comments above, it sounds as if the folks on
the spot are seeing really awful performance, on all pages, and from
sqlplus as well as AOLserver.
Yet the only page load times I've seen mentioned above are 2.2 and 3.0
s, with 2.1 and 2.9 s (respectively) of that time taken up in
adp_parse_ad_conn_file
. But adp_parse_ad_conn_file
should be a one time per page per thread overhead only, so taking that
out, we should left with about a 0.1 s or so page load time - quite
respectable!
So I guess those two examples must not be representative of
the overall problem? In which case, just what does the overall
performance problem look like from the users' point of view - just how
slow are these pages really?
