Of course realtime scanning on the server will make the processes take nearly forever... That must be disabled or performance will totally suck. Another biggie is things like Cruise Control, which if misconfigured starts multiple simultaneous checkouts, eats all the memory, so the server eventually grinds to a halt. Once a server reaches overload it just progressively dies - that happens usually just after it starts going heavily into swap (true of all apps, but cvsnt is a big memory user so you have to be careful with it). (The rule of thumb still holds... about 12-15mb/simultaneous user, and about enough disk space to hold a checked out sandbox * number of users). Tony
