Just a thought, unless you have a 600 or better unit, you are running 1x10/100 
Ethernet on 100-400 units vs. 2xGigabit on to 
600-1000 units, IMO creating a bottleneck even with low to moderate user 
accounts. This is where most of our cross-over sales 
are from, in the lower model units. With the amount of junk email flying around 
out there, even active user accounts under 
250 are pulling in substantial amounts of junk and direct harvest attacks.
