"When we were relying on the Services for Macintosh utility built into Windows, users experienced significant slow-downs when using the server... Users also reported that merely having the server mounted on their Macs would paralyze their computers for as long as a minute, several times a day. This problem went away when ExtremeZ-IP was installed."
