Our system takes about 2 seconds to "open a patient file" - about 4 seconds via ADSL 512/512 unless somebody is using the ADSL link heavily, we haven't enforced QoS in our small practice) If we use my web interface to the same database, it takes about a second (seemingly instantaneous, you just notice the browser refresh the page) to "open a patient" (= it displays basic demographics, allergies, past history summary, current medication recalls, unchecked results, and a list of recent encounters with reason for encounter) Our hardware seems nowhere near as powerful as theirs (server is an Athlon 2600 with 2GB of RAM), all computers running Debian Linux, and we are using "el cheapo" Exetel ADSL. What the hell are they doing? Do they have any network trouble? Is there a tool in Windows like "iperf" where you can measure raw network throughput between any two points? Is something hogging resources on the server (e.g. runaway process)?
