Yup. A client of mine.

This *ONLY* applies to carbon or cocoa apps, and *NOT* for classic
only apps. As a matter of fact, you can Get Info on classic apps and
change the memory allocation in Mac OS X (unless, of course, I'm
wrong:)).

I would recommend this. From what I recall, when I set up my client
the only thing that I did aside from a regular setup was to increase
the memory allocation on all three TSM apps (yes, in cluding the
Daemon). You might want to give that a shot.
