The performance of the BI Monitor client dashboards depends on the size of the created buffer pool that will be used to create the Monitor TableSpaces. For dashboards reports that aquire large volumes of data, it is strongly recommended to increase the Buffer Pool size to achieve better response time.

If you have created this Buffer Pool before, then you can alter it to increase its size. and in this case you must bounce the DB2 instance in order to use the Buffer Pool with the new size.
