A EBS VCP spawned program has big performance gap between two 64-bit Linux servers
I'm testing an EBS VCP product which will launch a request to run a spawned program named MSNW64.
I tested it on two 64-bit Linux servers.
It runs about 30 minutes on Server 1 but runs more than 2 hours on Server 2.
I use top -c to monitor the running process on different servers. I attach parts of extraction of top outputs as following:
Server 1:
top - 18:40:54 up 211 days, 2:29, 8 users, load average: 0.24, 0.11, 0.12
