Joel is correct, of course, that the new web client takes more cpu than the old
one. But it is more stable and will take a lot fewer resources than another X
GUI would via a telnet session. I have no benchmarks that I can share but the
difference is in orders of magnitude -- 10 concurrent web clients are far less
costly than one additional X client. And the heaviest usage in the web client
is events -- don't run the events display and you will use much less cpu, or so
I am told.

I can tell you from running the clients during the v6 beta test that they
are more processor-intensive than before. The server side runs several jre
processes (2 or 3), which can consume lots of cycles. I guess that Java is
better than the alternatives, but you pay a price for it. On the other
hand, the web client is outstanding, and quite simple to use.

AIX 4.2.1 RS6000-240 dual Netview 6.0
Are there any performance stats on what a NetView version 6.0 web client
uses on a NetView server (memory and cpu)? There are numbers on Netview
clients, and/or GUI telnet sessions, but nothing on web clients.
Thanks for the info.
