We recently upgraded a network of 41 turbo machines (monos) to 3.0, and are having SERIOUS performance problems. When large numbers of people log in at the same time, it takes up to fifteen minutes for them to get Mathematica launched. This is at least 3 times slower than the same operation under 2.2. It seems that every time a user logs in, the Workspace does its scan of application directories, services, etc. Isn't it supposed to only do this the first time you log in, and cache it? Each machine is mounting a couple directories from a single file server: /Users and /LocalApps. The netinfo server is also the file server AND the mail server, but this was also the case under 2.2. There is also a clone netinfo server. Any ideas, hints, suggestions? We've been instructed to upgrade the network to 2.2 if we can't find a solution soon :-).
