In SharePoint 2007, when item versioning is set to no limit for a document library, you could easily have a spiraling content database size.  When you try delete a ginormous item, it'll eventually get stuck in the second stage recycle bin, and you'll never be able to reclaim that database space or file space - a forced purging of the recycle bins through a UI operation will time out eventually, rolling back a huge transaction, probably freezing the site for your users - cue fire and brimstone. The solution is to run the following script off-hours.  Off hours helps minimize any potential blocks SQL server may issue against database pages as it goes around deleting the row content from alldocversions - from what I can tell, many I/O Page Latch locks are issued when SQL is deleting blobs, so to be nice to this script and run it off hours.  Compile it into a c# console application referencing the sharepoint dll.

Modify the CEWP, open the source editor, and paste in: <script type="text/javascript"> var containers = document.getElementsByTagName("*"); for (var i=0;i<containers.length;i++) { if (containers[i].innerText == ...

Since upgrading any client to Windows 7, SharePoint's Windows Explorer view got really really slow. Guess what, it has to do with IE 8's (maybe IE7 too) automatic proxy detection, not SharePoint.  You might experience this slowness connecting to any webdav server, including my iPhone's. Here is the fix: In Internet Explorer, open the Tools menu, then click Internet Options. Select the Connections tab. Click the LAN Settings button. Uncheck the “Automatically detect settings” box.

Move chops ...
