Hi,

since some weeks our database server (redhat taroon + oracle 9i)
suffered from a very bad performance. The load avg climbed sometimes to
80% :(, althought I think I've a powerful machine (HP, 3 Intel Xeon with
16G memory).

To try to find out the problem, I looked at the iostat report. I found
the await time are pretty high, and the average queue length is about
10. Someone told me that it is normal for a DB server, but I have some
doubt, so I would like to have you guy's opinions about that...

any suggestion is welcome, thanks

dux
