I have a DB_CONFIG file that contains the following:

set_cachesize 0 268435456 1
set_lg_regionmax 262144
set_lg_bsize 2097152

Anything else that I need to check there?

The slowdown is definitely at the start of class when there are probably
50-60 users logging on at once.  At other times it is very reasonable.

It should not be the network itself because nothing has changed there.  It
has to be something to do with a configuration or something.

Thanks.
