I am doing dbimport with IDS 10UC5 on AIX 5.3.
Watched,
large number(100,000+) of dirty pages were SLOWLY written to disk.
piece of online log,

Any suggestions are deeply appreciated!

#
# When dynamic logging is on, we can have higher values for LTXHWM/LTXEHWM,

# If dynamic logging is off, LTXHWM/LTXEHWM need to be set to smaller values

# In case of system configured with CDR, the difference between LTXHWM and
