It works nicely and depends a lot of on how you intend to distribute the
load (with multiple SUS for e.g.). Various configuration options exist that
can help to address this issue.

True but WUS should fix this and more. It is currently in BETA and looks

Many excellent third party add-ons, mostly free, are available to help in
reporting under SUS SP1. Try SUS Reports
(htthttp://www.lovas.info/susreporter/), SUS Log Reporting Utility
(http://www.susserver.com/) or http://sourceforge.net/projects/susrep/ just
to name a few.
Do let us know if this helps. Thanks!
