Performance with FUS

One one of my machines there are two or users logged on
all the time and we use Fast User Switching (FUS) to
switch between the users without logging out. When MAS
starts at its usual time of 2:00am, the machine becomes
completely unusable because it is running in all
sessions. What's weird is that the CPU isn't pegged
(according to Task Manager). However, if I try to
interact with any UI or do anything at all it is VERY
painful. Aborting MAS in all user sessions solves the
problem. I've moved the scheduled time to be later since
I've been up at 2am regularly lately, but this still
seems like a bad thing. Let me know if you can't
reproduce the problem. I can help you out.

Thanks,
David

Check back on performance in beta 2, although I have experienced similar
cases with other types of utilities while doing scan. I personally don't
recommend doing anything while MSAS is scanning, no multiple open programs
and "fus".

I've seen this myself--I think it is the disk that is pegged, rather than
the CPU.

I don't know what they can do about this issue, but I agree with Andre--I'd
revisit this carefully when Beta2 is released, and give a loud yell if it is
still there.
