I have Terminal Server running on my W2k3 box. When connected to it, the
session freezes for a little bit, then continues just fine. I have never
had more than 20 people connected at one time. The server has dual xeon
3gig cpu's and 4 gigs of ram. CPU usage has never been above 20%, and Ram
has never been more than 50%.
WHy would it just crawl at times, then other times work perfectly fine??

Over the weekend I connected from home, checked and I was the only one
connected, and every so ofthen, I would have to wait till I could move the
mouse again.

I am thinking about maybe trying Citrix, but if there is somethign I can do
to Terminal services, that would be better.
 
Are you running SP1?
If not, have you considered installing it (test it first on a non-
production server).

SP1 contains a number of hotfixes for this type of problem:
