Lawrence! You are on to something here. Perhaps you can help me understand
our scenario
We have RBdos running at a client, with 5 to 12 simultaneous users. We have
the app on a W95 box (hrdware equivalent to OS), and we have a W2000 server
which is up to date, lots of RAM etc. and runs SQL server 7 just fine. All
tests done over the network, and included restarting workstations to see if
it made any difference. It did not. The workstation had no significant
impact on the times, whether running W98 or W2K.
On W95 live db, users active, an update took 2 min 40 sec. This was
repeated throughout the testing with times varying from 2:30 to 2:50.
On W2000 server, one user connected, 59 sec.
Connect second user (who was not doing anything), 6 min 58 sec.
Disconnect second user, no significant change.
Disconnect both users, connect one, 1 min 3 sec. Same as first time. Did
not restart, just shut down rtime session and restarted rtime session.
Connect third user, 7 min 15 sec. Not significantly different from first
test of two
Try rbwin instead of rbdos, 7 min 24 sec. Not a significant difference.
Timing was done on several workstations, running W95, W98 SE or Win2000.
The station running the app made no signiifcant difference to the times
It is driving us nuts. The client is still running rbase on the W95 server,
for obvious reasons.
