I suspect the biggest problem there is the appservers and the  
underlying portal software as a whole, not necessarily the piece that  
you touch when making releases. Even with a better "Software Product"  
product you would most likely still see slow reaction times when  
uploading files or creating the documentation items (including their  
automatic cataloging) inside a relase. I fight the same problems when  
doing a CMF release.
