They do know that Tiger is not supported?

Are they also running other stuff inside Apache (PHP, JSP, etc.)? I have seen 
problems like this on Linux with PHP and MySQL. Check also if the server is not 
running out of memory, if the system start swapping, you can get the same kind 
of problems that you are describing.

Run away! :-) I had to work on a old WO project still on Xcode 2.4 this week, 
really not the best Java IDE. I wrote a tool to convert WO Xcode projects to 
Eclipse project, all the details in the wiki. It was used to convert more than 
100 projects.

WO "official" support, but it works quite well on both Snow Leopard and Snow 
Leopard Server (or Linux for that matter). And their Dual G4 is not supported 
by Leopard (10.5 is G4 833 Mhz or better).

If they are still using 10.4, they probably are using WO 5.3.3. You can install 
WO 5.3 and 5.4 and tell Eclipse.
