Allen,

I can answer your question about running smoothly. We are currently using a deployment for less than 1500 endpoints and its very slow. Especially if you have many technicians connected to it. This is likely due to the sqlite database that is used being way too large. There is some database maintenance functionality that helped however theres still a few bugs that exists that prevent us from utilizing all the database maintenance features.

In short, the November update won't make your pain go away.

Please update your damn linux version. This is getting frustrating
