Hello Tom This reply may be too obvious, but whenever I see this problem behavior, my first thought is there is one or more file directories that have gotten too large. Could be a directory that stores log files, or work files, or a directory where you're storing sequential files. Usually, as a file is added to the directory, the update is very quick. But every so often a bucket, or a buffer, or some resource in the directory fills up and has to be extended. Hard to tell when this will occur, so that's what makes it seem so random.
The flaw in this suggestion, maybe, is that you've put the data back on the old server and it still performs OK. But if it's a file directory problem, the directory may be outside the database. Just a shot in the dark, but hope it helps.

Dual quad cpu, 4 gigs of memory, 120 Gig drive, controller driven raid 5( I know about Raid 5 but that is not causing this issue). UniVerse 9.6.2.1, 36 users. We were running on a an old P3 with software raid 5 and very little memory and 18gig drives. One of the drives died and we can't find a replacement for it, so we build a new power server. Every once in a while, every 10/15 minutes a workstation will seemingly stop for between 5 and 15 second and then start up again. It doesn't seem to be the whole system, just one workstation at a time. It is not one program, nor one file, it is seemingly random. We have tried everything we can think of with no results. The database is very small. The largest file is 1.4 gigs, we have resized the larger files. We have taken the current data of off the new server, put it back on the old server and it still runs without any slowdowns. Anyone have any magic. Thanks in advance for your help.
