>Hi all!
>We are running 9.30.UC3 on Solaris 5.8.

>We are trying dostats (Features Version 5.10, Source Revision: 1.128 !) and
>have a couple of misunderstanding.
>First, we are getting different results (10% difference !) with "-Q 100"
>option and with PDQPRIORITY=HIGH environment variable. The work was done
>faster without PDQPRIORITY. Command line - dostats -d is_back -S -Q 100 -v2
>-X -e

>Second, we couldn't use more than 50Mb memory for sorting:
>dostats -d is_back -S -Q 100 -v2 -X -e -t event
>UPDATE STATISTICS:
