DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2

The DBMS memory set size is significantly higher in DB2 version 
10.  Some of this is required for functional and problem 
determination enhancements.  A large amount is due to an 
unnecessarily high estimate for the workload dispatcher.  This 
amount will be reduced to what is strictly necessary (the DBMS 
set will grow automatically if required).  For example, on a 
machine with 8 cpus/12GB RAM, the DBMS set is sized at 
approximately 250MB (and increase from 50MB on version 9.7), and 
this will be reduced to approximately 150MB.  On larger 
machines, the difference may be higher. 
 
Note the excess memory is only backed by real memory on Solaris, 
and can be ignored on other platforms.  While the initial sizing 
counts towards instance memory usage, the excess unused memory 
will be automatically reduced if needed for other purposes 
(database memory requirements, STMM tuning, etc.)

* The symptoms caused by this problem are immaterial and can   *
