Sforce issues

There seem to be couple of issues with the api.

First, the system is extremely slow when creating or changing records.  It takes 1 second per record to get updated.  Creating Accounts with basic information is rather flawless, but creating records on Contacts and filling my custom fields is just slllloooowwww.

Secondly, what is happening with Irish names on contacts?  Say, I want to create a contact who's last name is O'Connor.  Sforce will skip such a record.  But when I create an account where name includes the last name of O'Connor it will work fine.

We use VB.NET along with Sforce API 2.5 and we pull the info from SQL Server 2k.  Also, we get timeout errors when updating/creating multiple records at a time. 

Thanks,

Luke

Hi Luke,

I'm getting about 10 records updated/created per second on contacts (measurement was not scientific by good enough).  What is the size of your org (about how many accounts and contacts)?  When you say multiple records at a time, how many are you sending?

This concerns me, and I'd like to learn more about your specific scenario.

Hi,

The size of our organization is slightly over 7000 members, but that number is constantly growing.  Each day we create approximatelly 50-100 records  (contacts and opportunities), but we also need to do updates to over 7000 records on contact table.  There are also days where we can have about 150 new members.
