Re: applications not responding when saving



This type of issue is one of those is it desktop / network or backend server
questions. As for Sharepoint I would look at the capacity planning
whitepaper first
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/office/sps2003/plan/cappisps.mspx ,
I would also start using some perfermonce monitor counters on all servers to
see which ones if any are seeing too much load.
At the end of this it could still boil down to a slow network or client pc's
not able to handle the applications running on them.
Do some initial performance checks and post back with the results if you are
still having issues that you think are Sharepoint related.
One nice performance booster is to have 2 network cards in your web front
end servers and then have a private Lan between those servers the Job /
Index server and SQL , A gigabit Lan is a minimum for the private lan to get
the most out of heavy data use.
