[mod.computers.vax] Performance of VMS 4.2

A105@UWOCC1.BITNET (Brent Sterner) (12/05/85)

    Another site talked to me and asked if anyone on the net has seen
performance problems with 4.2 relative to 4.1 or 3.x.  He is seeing a
significantly more sluggish system after upgrading.  Any comments?

The file system slowed down 30-40% on file header operations (Open, Close,
Rename,...) with version 4.0 and the wonderful new file ACP. Is this
the effect you're seeing?
