ODA performances issues

Dear all,

we are currently migrating from an old Sun legacy environment to ODA X4-2 in version 2.10 virtualized with 4 cores for ORACLE_BASE.

Current database server: SUN FIRE X4270 M2 SERVER, 1 quad-core X5690 hyper-threading on

During the tests we found that the application was slightly faster on the OLD environment, which quite embarrassing...

We made then some low level tests and found even differences on CPU speed. Running a simple script such as:

i=1

while [ $i -le 100000 ]

do

echo $(($i*$i)) >>/dev/null

i=$(($i+1))

done

The script runs faster on the old Sun environment than on the brand new ODA.
