none of them are worth investigating for performance issues!

Thanks enrico.

Is it possible to do this with any other utilities.

You can, of course, waste as much time as you want doing anything you want -- as long as your management lets you. However, utilities are not generally a good area for performance improvements since they've been used at so many sites that any significant performance problems have been identified and resolved already.

one of the best ways to improve utility performance is to buy 3rd party products.
and, since they are usually expensive, the 3rd party sales team usually provide a means of benchmarking your system,
so that you will buy the product.

if you want to improve your machine utilization,
you need to convince your managers to get their heads in the right place,
and attack the most obvious problem - application code.
