Do you have much in the way of mutex contention in your threaded
application? It might be interesting to compare a tusc trace of the
application running under PA-RISC with a tusc trace of the same
application running under the Aries emulator on IPF.

I suppose that the usual song and dance about making sure you have the
latest versions of Aries intalled would apply, even if you are already
on 11.23.
