Powerhouse Quiz takes 60%+ CPU in EXEC mode

>If your files are poorly optimized,

We do optimise data files every weekend.
$ analyze/rms/fdl <file>
$ edit/fdl/nointeractive/granularity=double/analysis=<fdl> <fdl>
$ convert/fdl=<fdl>/nosort <file> <temp>
$ rename <temp> <file>
Do it to the dictionaries once in a while (they're indexed files too).
So the files should be optimized.

>or quite fragmented,

We use a defragger (the Digital one) every night.
The disks aren't fragmented. The files in question aren't fragmented.

>or your disk close to full

The disks are full-ish (70-90%), but I don't see that that's a problem in
itself,  it just tends to lead to fragmentation - not a problem for large
pre-allocated files.

So I'm still in the dark, unless the (Digital) supplied optimization still
results in some sort of RMS thrashing, or fullish disks have some impact I'm
unaware of.
A colleague thinks he's seen this from a 3GL program too. If that's the case
Powerhouse is probably exonerated (I've already cross-posted to comp.os.vms,
I'll relay anything interesting here).

Thanks very much for the suggestions.
Chris
