We are troubleshooting a large degradation in throughput on IFS Performance
in association with our upgrade from V4R5 to V5R2 this past weekend.

Our 3 TCP/IP Lines are verified as 100mbps and other overall lan throughput
is not degraded.  Packet loss is not an issue and respose time as reported
through OPS Navigator is great.  It just seems the iSeries Support for
Windows Network Neighborhood is just not serving the data out the way it did
on V4R5.

Upon bringing our iSeries 9406-740 back up after our upgrade, we first
noticed the problem when we went to upgrade Client Access on workstations
within our department.  What used to take several minutes, now takes 15
minutes.  A 20meg file is moving down in about 10 minutes.

I read that the IFS was supposed to be 'more robust' and more efficient in
V5R2, we are seeing exactly the opposite.

Has anyone else encountered this issue with their V5R2 upgrade ?
