Thanks for the repsonses from:

I was bold, and turned auditing on last night. Even with most events being
audited, there was no noticable slow-down. The major concern of a sysop
wanting to set up C2 auditing should be disk space. The log files fill up
quickly if you're auditing a lot of events.

Thanks again!

Karl
