I talked to the vendor and they say that it cannot use more than one processor per Biller process guess I am stuck for now. But 5 hours is not bad since it used up 14 hours on our old HP system! RESPONSES: Paveza, Gary [gary.paveza@AIG.COM] Pascal Grostabussiat [pascal@azoria.com] Bob Rahe [bob@dtcc.edu] Hi, You will probably get lots of the same answer but... you said you have an 8 proc system (equivalent). So 12% is about 1 proc worth of processing. So it's full tilt proc bound. Unless you can split it up into multiple jobs so as to utilize multiple procs you're kinda stuck.
