merge agent slowing performance

Hi,
I have setup merge replication with push subcription for every 10 min. I
have changed the agent profile to 'high Volume Server to server' but still
the duration and delivery rate remain almost the same. How can i increase the
delivery rate, or what should be the suggested agent profile be. Please help,
it is urget.
Thanks in Advance,
SVur
The history of the merge agent looks like this for hte last run:
# Actions : 32
Last action message: merged 3252 data changes(3209 inserts, 16 updates, 27
deletes)
Duration(secs): 00.00.43
Delivery rate (rows per sec): 73.0000
Inserts at Publisher:2912
Updates at Publisher:16
Deletes at publisher:27
conflicts at publisher:0
Inserts at subscriber:297
Updates at subscriber:0
Deletes at subscriber:0
conflicts at subscriber:0
Hi,
This is my merge agent history. the agent approximately took 9 min to merge
about 6500 changes in the last run. How can i improve the performance of the
merge agent? What are the implications of increasing the upload and download
batch size?
Thanks,
SVur
