Hello,
Quitting (GOLD K or /Q) from Lotus 1-2-3 in ALL-IN-1 is very CPU hungry. I have
an 1800 block example spreadsheet which takes approx 5 minutes CPU time to quit
out of. To quit from exactly the same spreadsheet using the VMS version takes
less than 1s CPU! Obviously a significant difference in user perception of
performance.
This is probably a Lotus issue but I ask the question here because it uses
INSTAL/EXECUTE which may have a bearing on this.
Versions: ALL-IN-1 V3.0-1, Lotus V1.5 for ALL-IN-1 and VMS, VMS 5.4-3
The problem has also been noted using Lotus V1.0 and V1.5 on ALL-IN-1 V2.4.
Attached below are the results of a show process before and after these
operations on both ALL-IN-1 and VMS.
Could anybody suggest what might be causing this?
Thanks
Jason

| 2921.1 | Lots of page faults | IOSG::NEWLAND | Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2 | Fri Jun 25 1993 20:00 | 11 |
The SHOW PROCESS information shows that there are a huge number of page
faults (approx 1 million) during the long delay. I suggest you do the
following to isolate what is causing the page faults:
1. Just before doing a GOLD-K or GOLD-F turn on the ALL-IN-1 debugger.
2. Step through each ALL-IN-1 function and monitor using SHOW PROCESS
which take a long time to execute and/or generate many page faults.

Hi Richard, Thanks for your advice here, however, after checking into the problem further it looks likely to be a coding problem inside the Lotus 123 image file. -Trev | |||||
