We have a 4500, and upgraded to 5.2.0 right when it came out. Smooth upgrade, no problems related to the software code.
Connected Users: ~3500
Internet BW: Limited to 20Mb/s non-burstable partition
Lots of Big, Ugly shaping rules
No dynamic sub-partitions (they stink)

Subject: Packetshaper 4500/PacketWise 5.2
Over the last few weeks, I have been trying to update our Packetshaper to the new version of software (5.2.0). From the start I have had nothing but problems. Each time having to revert back to the previous version to get things running acceptably again. Prior updates have generally gone smooth, but this one has been a real headache.
Symptoms: May show standard traffic volumes/patterns but in reality the Internet connections stink. Or it just throttles traffic back so bad that the connection is useless. Once I turn off shaping, things get speedy. When I go back to the previous version, all with same traffic tree, things go back to normal.
Has anyone out there, with a 4500 or other model, updated to the PacketWise v5.2?
Experiences?
