I haven't noticed an impact on performance.  One of our CASs is IB RIP 
with 1500 simultaneous users.

So are there any ramifications seen yet with regard to the high CPU 
utilization with kclick?

Thank you,

This is my production CAS (3140) running 4.1.6 lightly loaded:

This is my test CAS (3140) running 4.7.1 with NO load:

[root@test-cas ~]# top

Is anyone running 4.7.1 on one of the newer appliances like the 3310 or 
3350? If so, is the same thing happening?

 Whether I have 0, 50 or 200 users online, kclick is always using 95-99%.
