how to translate this information into an effective workgroup
configuration. It includes the following topics:
Evaluating current system use
Translating current usage into a workgroup configuration
Understanding the importance of workgroup order
Using GlancePlus to gather performance information
Choosing appropriate scheduling characteristics
This chapter also provides an overview of the key concepts that you must
understand to tune system performance. In particular, it reviews the function
and use of base and limit priorities, quantum bounds, the boost property,
timeslice, and CPU percentage bounds.
