Slow Replication on AS/400

I have a client running R6 on an AS/400. There is one database that is fairly large that uses reader fields. The replication on this database is terribly slow. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions for speeding up the replication process? I’m more interested in server settings or AS/400 configurations than I am application suggestions. Any help is appreciated.

What version R6? What version of the OS? How recently have things been compacted or re-org’d? What type of network connection are they using? How often do they IPL?

How many users? How restrictive are the reader’s fields? Is the server name in the readers’ fields?
