We didn't get the budget approval for the second serve. We do a full publish of each project weekly and have one project which takes ~3 hours to publish. During this time CMS goes between very slow and unusable.
That said we also run the SQL server on the same box as the CMS and this will be killing our performance. We'll be moving this to a separate machine in a month and hopefully this will improve the performance. Keith.
