It sounds like it might be a network communication issue. 

Have you checked the integrity of the connection between the TSM server
and the TSM client? Do any other TSM clients of these same issues? Is
the TSM client particularly busy with another process?

This is all pretty basic troubleshooting that should be done every time
there are apparent lags (as idlew and recw indicate).
