I've thought of one possibility.  The tables for mth162 are larger, 
since it is a bigger class.  If we missed instituting an index in 
mth162, say in the user-problem table, then this might explain why the 
server would take more time to respond to a request from a large class 
member as opposed to a small class member.  We might not notice the 
difference when there is no load.

Take care,
