Can you guess the time we installed the “upgrade?”

I’d take it more in stride, but this PostScript preflighting software licenses at $20k/host and stubbornly refuses to use more than one CPU/core. We were considering putting our 2 licenses on virtual hosts to at least free up some hardware, but can we really do that if it’ll consume 70% of a CPU when idle?

Add to that that you can’t run it as a service, you are requred to keep a generic user logged in at the console to run the application.

Fie on you!

    I guess I never showed you the performance graphs from a certain piece of commercial enterprise Java software that you might know well…
