38.6 Optimizing Client Connections

If enough users empty a very large number of items from their mailboxes all at once, the POA can
become very busy purging the items, rather than responding to other user requests in a timely
manner. Similarly, when many users log in to GroupWise at about the same time (for example, first
thing in the morning), many clients might need to start an Auto-Archive task (which includes purge
operations as part of the archive task), and this can also make the POA very busy until the purge
operations are completed.
