Keep in mind that it's not just renders that are going to slow you down.
We had the below problem when we started using Rush, since the default
Rush script for XSI would write its log files in the directory of the
scene that was being rendered. 50 machines making constant updates in
the project tree brought XSI to a screech.

If you have access to the next release, so you could try that one as we
made changes to the browser code. In previous version, it's come to our
attention that if you access a network drive where a lot of other people
(for example, the render farm) are writing, it slows down the browser as
it gets a flood of notifications of file changes and works to filter out
what matters and what doesn't. Check also if using you can map a drive
letter directly to only
the location you need, and use that one instead. For example 'subst z:
\\myserver\share\myproject\render_picture In some cases, I believe the
'workgroup' and 'addon' under the 'path' button could be an issue,
that's easy to check by renaming your user folder for a moment for that
check.
Note that the flipbook remembers your last used sequence names, which
you can get by clicking the combo box arrow at the end of the file name
edit field.
