We have received Tier 3 support from Adobe and they have gotten us a patch for our Verity Collection documented in prior posts. The one thing that shocked me as they they took a look at our case and stated that "Ideally, Verity will run without incident efficiently on about 12 collections (especially if they are using CATEGORIES)." 12 collections? I've never seen this documented anywhere - (as of 9.21.2008) and I've read about everything there is to read on the subject.
So there may be a hotfix for this and other Verity issues coming out soon from Adobe - The entire process took a month to resolve but we're excited to implement the fix and I'll be sure to blog the results of the patch/hotfix.
