SystemLink Client performance degradation over time

The SystemLink TrayApp on the client system starts a tcp-server in order to get job notifications. This mechanism enables pop-up notifications informing the current user that a job started/completed. This has to work for any user that can login to that system and for Windows Server we have to support the use-case of multiple users being logged-in simultaneously; each user has their own tcp-server on its own port.

The ports are persisted on the disk in this location: C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\Systems Management\NIMinionConfig\ports

Over time, this list may grow and will include users that are no longer active on the system. For each port that fails to connect, there is a 2 second timeout when attempting to connect. This results in delays of 2 seconds multiplied by the number of inaccessible ports for each job.

    Workaround:
