Data starvation between the server and the client. > What do I need to check here? This can be a nasty to find, as there are many potential culprits -- server, client and the network in-between are all possibilities. I'd start by taking a good look at top(1) on both client and server. In addition to the obvious things like load averages, keep an eye on the wait percentage (the 'wa' field). This is an indication of how hard the I/O system is being worked. This should normally be hovering around zero; anything consistently higher than around 10% is cause for concern. If the systems are clean, then it's time to take a close look at the network. Is this a gigabit network?
