Interesting side-effects

For those of you interested into what happens during these "pushes" I have upladed two pictures, showing server load and network traffic of my Leopard Server with ONLY ONE (1) client connected to the home directory located on the server, iDisk is unmounted all the time! The client is part of a group which I configured in my .mac family account. I discovered these "peaks" for the first time around 3 weeks ago. The pictures can be seen here:

Server Hardware is a 2008 iMac 20" with 4GB RAM. The WAN connection is done over DSL 16,000.

I wonder what happens with 20 users connected to the server, all setup for a 1 minute "push" interval. What do you think?
