I don't think it makes any difference. I run with VM off, and I give SIMS lots of memory (24MB is about all it will accept), and increase it's memory allocation in the communigate client. From my experience, SIMS being the front most application doesn't seem to matter much. When you're running other apps out in front that are taking CPU, it will slow SIMS down a bit (distributed.net client will do it!) . Unless you run a busy server, it won't be noticeable. I routinely run Stuffit and stuff down a month's of log (about a gig of files) with SIMS in the background, and it really doesn't seem to slow anything down. I'd say the biggest bottleneck in SIMS performance on a busy server isn't CPU,but disk I/O. -Jerry ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
