Sorry, but that is not ASIP related. I have multitudes of ASIP servers
running, and NONE exhibit the behaviors you describe, even those running on
legacy machines.
I suggest taking a good look at your OS configuration, and making sure you
run the latest ASIP updates.
This could also be related to older hard disk drivers, or a system that is
in bad need of being optimized, or having ahard drive maintenance system
run on it. You are running nothing else than ASIP on the system, right?

You might gain performance improvements. You *WILL* lose the ability to have
your users create alias' of subfolders.
