    We are using X Servers (Intel) in a Windows domain as our primary filer. System consists of two X Servers attached to two Coraid SAN drive shelves. The servers dish out all file types super fast except for AutoCAD file types (.DWG .DWF .DXF …etc). The files open up super slow. Browsing the folder that contains the files is even slowed down. My client machines are all PCs running Windows (Mix of 2000 and XP). I’m desperate. I’ve turned of client side caching in AD. I’ve turned off “Validate digital signatures and display special icons” and thumbnail view/caching (this improved browsing only) AutoCAD file access on old Dell Powervault was on an order of magnitude faster. Took only 10 seconds to open drawing file on old vs. 3 minutes new Apple system. The Apples scream on all other file types. Any suggestions? I’m a little new to the OS X Server world.
