The most checkout's at one time that I've seen on this server 7 simultaneous. My users are spread between the US and the UK, so while one group of Engineers is using CVS, the other group is asleep. Here's the stats on my server: HP Net Server with Dual PIII's at 854 MHZ 1 Gb of RAM HP NetRaid controllers on a full raid 5 The system should be able to handle a significant load wouldn't you say? I have verified that when the server is slow, the lock service is at 50% and NO checkouts are active....... Not sure if you have any more to add, but figured I'd send all the info I had... Thanks again, Jake
