I've recently noticed that slight pause when users attempt sorting or navigating through sub-folders inside their Inbox. I did recently put the databses on network storage via iSCSI. During real busy times of the day i see AVG disk/sec write and AVG disk/sec read spike but overall performance has been ok. The hiccups aren't very long, milliseconds if that, but obviously noticeable enough that Helpdesk gets a few calls, the president being one of course.
Similar environment as yours: EXCH2k3 SP2 but on WIN2k SP4 OS and OLK2K3 clients. There are a few intangibles missing from your setup which i'm sure would help: how many mailboxes ? BES? if yes, how many users ? How many mbx servers? local storage? In my case i have ~600 mailboxes with roughly 60 BES users and 25 Goodlink users with one mailbox server. I've read about the increase in RPC requests with BES users and real-time synch, but am unsure what more i could do since my environment isn't really large or unique, I've been meaning to ask the list if Outlook 2007 would reap any noticeable performance gains over Outlook 2003.
