You should still spool attributes, though. Those zillions of files cause zillions of database writes. This can dramatically improve database write performance. Also, try turning off compression. Compression is performed on the client, so could potentially slow the client's throughput rate, particularly an old or otherwise relatively low performance client. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
