Bad performance because of wrong characterset?

Hi List,

One of my customers gets HP Servicedesk 4.5 implemented. The database that has been created by on of the DBA's for the application is Oracle 8.1.7.4, on AIX 4.3.

The database has characterset UTF8, which is the standard here.

Now ServiceDesk has bad performance. HP claims that the characterset is wrong, and a new database has to be created with character set WE8ISO8859P15. I've never heard of bad performance due to differences in character sets, probably because of my lack of experience. Anyone familiar with this issue?

TIA, Carel-Jan
