So, now  I wonder WHY - what is it about ZoneAlarm and/or other firewall  
software
that might cause this degredation in performance of DC? 


I suggest that certain software that is supposed to be looking for viral  
particles is hindered by the nature of many Pick filestructures.  It would  not 
be uncommon in Pick to have files that are hundreds of megabytes  large.  If, 
each time one of these files *changes* that triggers a  police-program to 
re-check it to see if it now contains a virus .... that could  be a major 
source of 
slowness.
 
That is why you should never have policing programs checking any system  that 
has PICK type files on it.  Which is why they say to run a Pick server  
seperately from your external-web-email-type server.  If the viral programs  at 
stopped at the external source there is no way, externally, that they can get  
to 
the server that is running the Pick-type system.
 
Then you just need in install police programs on each internal PC and  you're 
set.  More or less.
