Definition

The number of Least-Reciently-Used queues specifies the number of queues in the shared memory buffer pool. You can tune the value of LRUS, in combination with the LRU_MIN_DIRTY and LRU_MAX_DIRTY parameters, to control how frequently the shared memory buffers are flushed to disk. These parameters are found in the ONCONFIG* control file located in the $INFORMIXDIR/etc control file.

The minimum value of LRUS is 3, the maximum is 32. The optimal value of LRUS depend on your specific hardware configuration. Your best guide for selecting a vlaue for LRUS is to experiment with different values and monitor the performance benifits. You may find that a larger value increases performance on machines with more than 2 CPUs.
