[daip] problems running multiple tv displays on different desktops

[Susan Neff]

Hi again, Wes,

Does the shared memory allocation impact the memory 
available for other AIPS tasks to use?  Does it 
"reserve" that much memory for the TV?   Or are they 
independent?  (If they impact the performance of other 
AIPS tasks,
I might want to not run on too many TV's at once).

The FAQ also talks about improving overall AIPS 
performance on a Solaris machine by changing the 
settings to the following - will these help any on a 
Mac (OS X)?:

|set ufs:ufs_HW=6291456
set ufs:ufs_LW=4194304
set priority_paging=1 |

Sorry if these are dumb questions.

Thanks,
-s-
