From: Scott Bemis mcnc!rti-sel!tijc02 Texas Instruments, Johnson City, Tennessee Phone: (615) 461-2959 I am currently running Uniq Digital's UNIX V Release 2.0 Version 2 on a VAX 8600. I would like to know the optimum time slice. To my knowledge, my time slice is 1 second. The time slice is the maximum time a process can run before it is involuntarily switched out. Currently, the response time for interactive processes like vi is terrible. Compiles though are running faster on a VAX 8600 than on a VAX 11/785. vi is running much SLOWER. Could the time slice of 1 second cause this?
