IPSec tcp session stalling

I am using FAST_IPSEC on a multi subnet VPN with the guys on other side 
having Check Point VPN / Firewall.
Its a VPN that does almost non stop usage, the people on the other side 
have 24 monitoring utils on it and its never had a problem.
Its on 5.3 i386, and I fear to upgrade it, when it comes to VPN I 
believe in the rule if its not broke don't fix it.

When I think about if I haven't had much luck when trying regular IPSEC 
despite docs saying its better supported? But then again I never gave it 
a good shot, FAST_IPSEC just sounded 'faster'
