Well, thanks to all who sent suggestions about increasing the performance of
my CiscoWorks 2000 server.  I followed all suggestions sent.  The real issue
seems to be unrealistic minimum server specs from Cisco on this product.  If
any of you plan to sell or suggest this product, I would advise you to
ignore the minimum specs and go with a much more powerful solution.

My client originally provided the following box:
Single PIII 766
768MB RAM
10GB IDE HDD (bad choice here for sure)

This solution was pathetically slow.  I mean, it would literally take 3-5
minutes just to bring up a window (all java code running on an Apache web
server running on NT 4.0 SP5)!  

I setup a test server with the following:
Dual PIII 866
1GB RAM
RAID 5 w/3-9.1GB Ultra SCSI-2 drives (yeah!)

This solution kicked butt!  So, even though the first box met the minimum
requirements, you would get killed by the client if you brought this to them
to use!  Take my advice: buy a "real" server for this suite!

PS I opened a case with TAC.  They told me NOT to install CAM as it has been
shown to produce a slower response rather than its intended faster response.
There is also a Java VM upgrade for IE that they told me to get.  Search for
Java VM on www.download.com and you will find it.

Sorry for this lengthy post!
