i suppose it's lockin - the alternative program(s) would need to import
appointments, financials, as well as clinical . also , need to test if the big troublesome
records do any better in the alternative, as ctrl-alt-delete and looking at the
network performance monitoring chart on windoze shows that the network bandwidth
is 25% occupied for the time the md client is stuck waiting for the record to open,
which seems to support the idea that it's the network that is the bottleneck
(why 25 % , anyone know ?), and that its solvable either by ugrading the
network bandwidth, or reducing the amount of data need to be transferred
(e.g. by using the RDP protocol for thin client efficient pixel transfer - it's just
efficient gui changes across the network, isn't it, ie that winconnect thing;
apparently its a RFC, so it's not windows specific , what is it ? )
is there a linux alternative for thin clients , e.g. X window system, and a windows
emulator , and using a common data directory in wine with md2 ( how is the
atomic multi-user operation on shared files handled in md2 ? file locking ? )

nothing is guaranteed. using md2 doesn't sound sensible if you need this
improvement - going to a real program would give you the biggest speed
improvement

got to do that.
just putting in a gigabit switch and a gigabit card in each server would allow
an improvement
