I could be wrong however, I wasn't involved much in the running of the old 1.1.5.1 system. It certainly never had 500 users when it was on the T1, about the most you can support is 150-180 or so. Even then the T1 was totally swamped. Seems slower? Strange. The new hardware is 30% faster according to measurements made by David just after he made the upgrade, and with the improvements David and John made to the post 2.0 VM system it should be faster...
