Tuning Objectives

The objectives of tuning are:

  • Minimizing response time
  • Increasing throughput (Doing more using less resources)
  • Increasing load capabilities
  • Decreasing recovery time


Business requirements affect tuning goals. Performance may be limited by safety concerns, as in the “Decreasing recovery time” goal.

In a business environment where down time may be measured in hundreds or thousands of dollars per minute, the overhead of protecting the instance from failure and reducing recovery time is more important than the user response time.
