I have 8 users with the Daylite 3.5...our network is ethernet/all mac/and only 2 of the users have daylite synch enabled. The database is on the Mac OSX server machine. Since up grading to 3.5 anytime anyone makes a change to a contact in the database the entire network slows to a crawl for 5 - 10 minutes. If I have the 2 users with synching on disable synch all is ok but when they turn it on to synch their contacts/cals at the end of the day everyone suffers. I have been testing the leopard betas and have the same problems.

Thoughts from other users??

A few people have reported this too. I'm not sure of the exact explanation (engineering would know), but it may be because of the number of things that have to synced.

In 3.5.2 we added the ability to turn off the auto-sync (in the sync pref pane). You can sync manually when needed (in the Actions menu).

Address book synching is very inefficient. After 20 minutes I force quit Daylite and lost all of my Address Book data (luckily I had a backup). So beware! I do not recommend turning on Address book synch until they fix the problem. iCal synch works fine.

You should never force quit a sync! The likely problem is that you have over 2000 contacts in your sync list. If so, you can sync 1000 at a time and you should be fine.

Do a 1000, then add another 1000 and sync again etc...

This is not ideal or elegant but it is a workaround for now.
