Swap a slow computer with a fast computer, see if the problem moves with the
computer or stays at the current location. I had an office do this, the
problem stayed so we knew it was bad wiring.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - some computers slow
Here is the problem.
We are using the newest version of 9.5 and we are running a compiled
application.
Each computer is set up so when starting the application, it looks at a
timestamp file to see if I have made any changes to the application.
If there have been changes, the code uploads the updates and then the
session starts.
The actual database is on the server.
On some computers when opening forms or running reports, the session is
super slow.
At the same time, other computers can open the same form or run the same
report and it is very quick.
Most computers are running Windows 7 but some still run XP.
Some computers are 64 bit and some 32 bit.
Neither of the above seems to make a difference.
If fact one of the 64 bit win 7 machines is the slowest.
Can you folks give me some ideas as to what I should look for on the
particular machines to care for the speed issues?
