Actually, you're not alone. This is an issue which I picked up during beta
testing. I was not impressed with Veritas Engineering's response either. A
colleague of mine currently has an open escalation on this issue, so yes,
Veritas is listening, and progress (albeit slow) is being made. 

If you want, you could try the following unsupported workaround:


from Sun bugid 4633120:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check the version of the jvm/jre that the jnbSA gui is using:

# pwd
/opt/openv/java/jre/bin
# ./java -fullversion ; ./java -version
java full version "1.3.0"
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0, mixed mode)

The default optimizations in the HotSpot Client VM are mainly for startup speed
and not for general speed of execution, and you need to change the invocation
to get different behaviour. In order to get the "server" optimizations you need
to invoke with 

-server

so chang the invocation line in the jnbSA script to this:


$JAVA_PATH -server -Dvrts.NBJAVA_CONF=$NBJ_CONF \ 
  -Dvrts.nbu.admin.MAX_HEAP_SIZE=$MAX_MEMORY \
-Dvrts.common.utilities.DEBUG_PROPERTIES=$DEBUG_PROPERTIES  \
-Xbootclasspath:$JAVA_LIB   -Xms$INITIAL_MEMORY -Xmx$MAX_MEMORY \
vrts.nbe.AdminConsole >> $LOG_FILE 2>&1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

note the "-server" immediately after $JAVA_PATH.

Stay tuned.
