More Information
MailSite Express can experience slowness or cause the server to have a very large Cache directory due to a fault with the Operating system within Service Pack 2 for Windows 2003 Server.
MailSite Express uses sessions to keep track of users progress through the Express application. When they logout and the application tries to fire the Session_OnEnd from within the global.asa it does not function. This will cause the Cache directory to fill up with old information and leave the system with a lot of stale sessions open. This can also cause other issues which are detailed in the Microsoft KB document, please follow this link KB934903
