You can use the Analyze activity
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4200

After installing Analyze, start it up. Click on the Interfaces tab
then the XO icon. There are resizable horizontal panes with various
useful information. It should give you some data to debug some of
these issues.

Others have also experienced these intermittent problems with
collaboration. We need some comprehensive testing with data to track
down the problems.
