Maybe, but to do so we need to know more about the system:
How many is an "increased number" of users? (no exact number required, but are we talking about 10, 100 or 1000 users here?)
What is the size of the system? How many processors? How much memory? Have you tried a
vmstat -tw 1 in a time of many users? also a
vmstat -vs might help. If so, please post significant portions of the outpput here (within CODE-tags).
How is the name resolution done? We had "network problems", where the network was working fine but the name server took a long time to answer so that the connection seemed to be made slowly. Overall, can you describe you network a bit (in case the culprit is there)?
How is your system used by the many users you describe? Are they using a certain application, working on the command line mainly, do they only connect via the application layer (like a database running on the server and your users use DB Visualizer or a similar tool to connect to it)?
This is - off the top of my head - all i can come up with. Please provide a few more data and we take it from there.
I hope this helps.
