No. This is a test server. Absolutely no load. It seemed to me that it
was the message which triggered the database update.
top load is something like this :
load averages: 0.11, 0.11, 0.11 21:52:31
73 processes: 72 sleeping, 1 on cpu
CPU states: 99.9% idle, 0.0% user, 0.1% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap
Memory: 8184M real, 6289M free, 542M swap in use, 13G swap free

Hmmm, a T2000 is "slightly" better than your sparc box (a 10 years old
Ultra 5 or Ultra 10 ?). But it doesn't seems too faster.
A T2000 with 8 cores looks like this :
# psrinfo -v
Status of virtual processor 0 as of: 03/04/2009 21:44:58
on-line since 01/30/2009 12:56:40.
The sparcv9 processor operates at 1000 MHz,
and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.

Yes, the client has a timeout of 10 seconds for the connection and 10
seconds for the scan answer.
