Blackboard Slowness

Back log: Tue, 03 Feb 2009 23:12:53 -0800

> I received an email alert and found the 2nd Bb instance was very slow
> (still alive :-) ). That was cleared by restarting the tomcat processes.
> I replied to some complaints in dcfeedback. Only finding so far is some
> errors on a course export and that is very possibly causing the slowness
> and I think it will (very possibly) eventually resolved itself. No
> system error identified!

> Max

p.s. we have a two Bb app cluster + one collab. server.
