Further to my earlier post regarding network performance, I
would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced performance problems
with V7.5 and Windows 2003 Server, in multi-user mode. I have found that when
one user connects to a database the peak packets per second is about 100 when
scrolling through a table using a form, yet when a second user connects the
traffic increases to about 8000 packets/sec, and performance slows to a crawl.
Even when the second user disconnects and exits RBase, the traffic stays at the
same level. In order to get the performance back to an acceptable level it is
necessary to restart RBase with only one user. (The traffic figures are
as indicated by my demo version of EtherPeek NX) I have tried V6.5 for DOS on the network, which I
appreciate, has considerably fewer demands than the Windows version, and find
that this works as expected, with good performance. V7.1 also performs
considerably better than 7.5 with a similar, but not identical form, with peak
traffic being only of the order of 1000 packets / sec. Other software on the network does not experience problems
such as this, so I can only assume that the issue relates to RBase V7.5 (and
maybe Forms in particular, although I have also found printing to be slow) and
Windows 2003, and possibly some other software on the network. (The server is a
2.8 GHz XEON, SCSI drive, with a maximum of about 10 users; workstations are
typically 2.8 GHz boxes, with 512MB or 1GB RAM running XPP. All NICs are
100MBit/s) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I am
currently forced to run my applications with only one user, which is not the
way it is meant to be. Regards John Docherty -- |
