This topic was presented on this at the DM Technical Users Conference. Our experience shows that it effects the length of time it takes to open a file. The reason is the length of time it takes to traverse the directory table to find the file. Literally, we have seen directories (accounts) with upwards of 4,000 files & dictionaries! We saw improvement in speed when reduced to the 1,000 entry range. But this is pail in comparison to keeping files opened thru labeled common. We HIGHLY recommend holding files open in common!
