Matt and Liston,

my 2 cents -

my setup is 1 e250 with 2 400 Mhz cpus and 1.5 GB of RAM, with about 40
subscribing orca clients. I found the bug with the duplicate disk graphs to
be so very annoying and reduced my credibility in presentations to others,
so I disabled them by commenting them out.

Wallah! my "orca cycle" time when from 2.5 hours to 25 minutes. Since I am
the only one who really looks at orca, I found this to be acceptable.

I noticed with prstat -a that orca only ever uses 1 cpu, at 50%
utiltization. Liston, how do you get 90% util on your v480R?
