To properly test the speed of R:BASE 6.5++ (DOS/Windows) in
a Multi-User environment, you should try the following:

01. Copy all files (Database, Applications, etc.) from
Windows 2000 Server to your local workstation, for
example, C:\RBTest

02. Make sure that MULTI is SET to ON in RBASE.CFG file
or in your application startup file

03. Start The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows
or The R:edoubtable R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for DOS

04. At the mighty R> prompt, switch to C:\RBTest and then
CONNect to the database or run your application

05. Start SECOND session of R:BASE and repeat step 04

Keep in mind that you are connected in a multi-user
environment.

06. Start THIRD session of R:BASE and repeat step 04

07. Keep repeating step 04, as long as your PC resources
can handle it.

Yes ... you can start as many sessions of R:BASE 6.5++
as you wish.

During any session, you can type LIST at the R> prompt
or use (CVAL('Connections')) to find the number of users
connected to that database.

At this point, does R:BASE performance become very slow
between database and menus?

I wouldn't think so.

08. Now, try the same exercise on Windows 2000 Server.

Is there any difference?

In your case, my guess would be ... Yes.

Go figure ...

The following factors can contribute to speed issues when
running on Network Server:

01. CPU

02. Memory

03. Network Protocol

04. Network Card

05. Network HUB/Switch Board/Routers, etc.

06. Cabling

07. Programs/Services Running on Windows NT/2000 Server

08. Anti-Virus, Security Services and more ...

Hope that helps!

Very Best Regards,

Razzak.
