I had a similar problem, as I run a BBS on the server and I keep  the message 
areas on the server

When new messages arrive it would take ages to complete, and I found the 
problem to be the delete function on the server.

Novel keeps all the deleted files so your hard disk is aways full
I have set the server to purge the deleted files right away 
and not to keep them   I have not had a problem with the server since and found 
a 100 percent increase in speed.

The only problem I now have when a deleted file is deleted it is gone for good.
I also set the compress option to compress after seven days
set the time for that function, when it is least used, onece a day
and all works fine now :)
I run OS/2 , Windows 98 and NT.
Try to change some of the settings for delays from the Factory settings
and whako the server runs like a rocket :)

Cheers Harry
