Figure 4-1. Response Time as a Function of CPU Utilization
A rundown of the global performance indicators for \NODEA (Example 4-4) shows that
the processor load balance on the system is poor and that there is excessive disk
queuing. The cache performance, with an average cache hit percentage of 83.2, is
also deficient. However, the overriding problem on this node is a serious shortage of
memory, as indicated by the node swap rate and the memory subsystem performance
score (discussed later).
