Fair enough, where is he going? a lot of the reported performance issues
from the user community find it easy to finger the local network and never
consider the possibility of the down stream host being over loaded. Perhaps
you could try this depending on how you setup your DMZ, if you can, plug a
machine into your DMZ provided it is not a 2 node network segment and set
your default route to your public router, set your DNS to request from your
Provider's DNS servers and run some tests that do not include your ISA in
the equation. Do a with ISA and with out ISA so to speak kind of test. What
do you get?

We have a full T-1 that is dedicated to ISA/Web access. The only other
traffic on the T-1 is a littly used OWA server. We have already
explored that possibility. Our provider is telling us that our peak
usuage is in the 70% to 80% range. We are already exploring getting
additional bandwidth (30-40 days out). My concern is that one of the
people complaining (our CIO) is in the office before most people are
here and is reporting the slowness.

What kind of Internet connection do you have for 300 people? maybe a
traffic study would be useful from your provider?

While increasing the CACHE file size will help, have you looked at
Performance Monitor to see if there is a bottle neck somewhere on the
server?
How is the page file set?
Is this Advanced Server, and if so, have you set the large memory switch
in
the boot.ini?
