"Performance" concerns the efficiency of the use of any particular resource. In any system there will be many resources of interest and the utilization profile of each can be a measure of performance for the overall system. There is no logical fallacy in considering the performance of data entry throughput (which degrades as needless server round trips occur) along with middle tier server capacity (which degrades when CPU, memory, and IO are taxed with needless processing that can be placed in the client tier). Both are valid aspects of the performance of the total system. If your enterprise app sucks at one or the other, you are wasting money. A lot of enterprise systems are wasting money. _______________________________________________ mozilla-layout mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-layout
