per the BBO forums, Kevlar even states it does indeed add overhead. Most of the
overhead info though is a bit dated if I recall correctly. When all other
options have been exhausted (IE server process restart, which restarts PB) other
things need to be checked out. Our problem comes and goes, as you know Jon, and
has nothing to do with PB updates. It will be perfectly fine for weeks, then
suck ass for a week, then be fine again....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
