Hi, I'm running the binary release of Zope 2.6.1 (python 2.1.3) and Plone 1.4 on a Windows 2000 sp4 server on the local network. Recently, I've noticed that the ZMI has slowed almost to a crawl while viewing the contents of most folders (empty ones open quickly). I can't think of anything that has been changed recently in our config.
Check that you don't have any screensavers running on your server. Some time ago i've seen the messages that running OpenGL screensaver (flying text or pipes or so) causes significant performance degradation of Interbase rdbms, because it (screensaver) consumes more than 90% of cpu cycles.
