Well at this point I am not sure I know what normal is - The server has
always seemed slow to me - bringing up the public calendar in outlook (with
currently about 850 appointments) can take longer than a minute sometimes -
And I only have 5 clients, so it is not like I am overburdened here.

What is odd to me is that the two clients who do the most work on the
calendar only generated about 250 propfinds during the same period (and
about 150 GETs).  The one client with the 25,000 requests (to only 600 GETs
(I don't know if these are related, but the ratio seems odd))hadn't even
looked at her calendar the entire day (but outlook was open the entire
time)!  
They all are looking at the same calendar - as a matter of fact the one
client who produces all of the propfinds has the least amount of
appointments because she has zero appointments in her personal calendar.
All the computers have the exact same flavor of outlook.

Is there a setting somewhere that determines how often the individual
clients refresh information - what is odd is that a client who never looks
at the calendar all day generates 600 GETs and 25,000 PROPFINDs and a client
who is entering in appointments all day generates 150 GETs and 250
PROPDINDs.
