All of my bitching back back in the day caused the 2.8 release which really improved the handling of network dropouts. The good news is if the network just goes away, it handles thing pretty well after that pause. If the network just starts getting weak and garbled so it has to do a lot of retransmits, sac can start hanging for a long time as it gets a good packet every so often and doesn't drop the bad machine. I have seen this make a system almost totally unresponsive (or that whole jerky thing) for 20-30 seconds until the connection finally fails totally.
