<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thanks to all that responded. We have an issue where our AS instance slows down considerably after about a month of adding data (new collections, digital objects, a large number of accessions).
After our systems person adds more RAM, the system speeds up considerably. I was wondering if we should add more RAM every three weeks. But it seems like, based on your answers, RAM might not be the source of our speed issue (but somehow connected?).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
