Hoi Tom,

this might sound a bit blunt, but from what you’re asking I get the strong 
impression that this the first time you’re working with TSM. So I’m a bit 
anxious to give you any advise, fearing that it might lead to more problems.

In general with performance issues I would look into the generic performance 
indicators of the exchange servers first. Secondly, check for any network 
bottlenecks between the exchange server and the TSM server. Thirdly you can 
look into the performance indicators of your TSM server. All with normal tools.
