I honestly don't know.  I work remotely so I rarely if ever deal with
resource booking.

At times it's very slow, but then again we have one corporate zimbra
server in a colo center in Phoenix, and I'm here in WA using a vpn to
Boston, to then get to the Zimbra server in PHX.  It's not the most
efficient setup.
