Patsy, you could set the variable to 6000 however I am not sure this will help resolve the server delay error. You should be right that the scoreboard queries cause the clog...why the user wants to look at 34800 tickets in one node? It does not make sense to me as this does not help the user anyway. You may want to restrict(like use DP) what kind of tickets the users can query. By the way, if you constantly see long running queris("The following statement took ...") in stdlog, you would need to investigate. Thanks _Chi
