To all IRIX 5.3 ONYX users:

Be aware that I have discovered a problem with patch 1255 for IRIX
5.3, that causes a serious degradation in performance to performer
applications. I recommend that this patch not be installed until the
matter is resolved.

The basic problem observed is that the stress level of the performer
program goes to maximum without any cause. The mulit-pipe program I
am using works just fine (30 Hz easy) without the patch. With the
patch, the stress level goes very high (usually maximum) and the
process runs much slower. This has been verified by multiple
loads/unloadds of the patch to verify the performance.

Has anyone else experienced this problem ? The patch became
available with the 5/96 release of SupportFolio.
