The admin center box is running on a ESX VMWare box and our VM admin has
swears the network settings are correct. He has this box set up the same
as the 30-40 other VM's we have and they are fine as far as network
speeds are concerned.  

The production TSM (5.5) box is running dual gig nics and has been for a
couple years. It's day to day performance a TSM server has always been
just fine. 

I would expect issues with the test TSM (6.1) since it's running on old
hardware and only has a single 100 meg nic. But it doesn't matter which
of the TSM servers I work with through the admin center. It always seems
sluggish.

Have you tried to determine there are any network issues between the
machine on which browser runs and the machine on which
the AdminCenter is running?

Are there any network issues between the machine on which the
AdminCenter
is running and the machine on which the TSM server is running?

I see the AdminCenter is pointing at 2 different TSM servers. Do you get
the same performance regardless of the TSM server being used?

I've watched the task manager server while I'm doing something within
the Admin Center and I'm not seeing much of a bump at all.

I'm getting a 70% bump on the server when I first log in to admin center
but it quickly drop down to about 4-5%.
When I go to modify a client and wait for the processing screen to go
away I get 40-50% bump on the server when I first hit the modify button
then it drops down to background noise. While I'm waiting several
seconds for the processing screen to go away the CPU has already dropped
down to nothing.

I'm seeing bigger bumps on my local machine but nothing really
substantially different.

I can't really tell any difference between IE or Firefox.

You can watch task manager as you issue a request.
If you see IE (or whatever browser you're using) using low CPU for 10
seconds, then see it busy as the page loads, the slowness is somewhere
behind that.
If you see if busy all 10-15 seconds, then it's your browser, or browser
settings.  Try Firefox instead of IE; we've seen that make a huge
difference
on some web apps.

You can do similar tricks watching task manager on the Admin Center box.

At least you have a repeatable problem.  ;-}
