Andy - I wouldn't expect it to be a problem, per se, but rather a
       consequence of busy-time (during the day) processing.
Expect the client to be running through its file system seeking the next
changed file to back up, which may be few and far between in some cases.
A client that is busy doing other things takes away from TSM client
processor share and more idle wait time, as does an otherwise busy file
system (made worse by virus checking).
