App on network or on local computer

Windows 2003 Server
I noticed in reviewing one of the launcher programs that if a new app is put on the server it will copy the app down to the local computer if the app is a later version. Is there any advantage to copying it down to the local computer as opposed having only one app on the network drive.
I use a small ini file out on a network drive that is called when my startup exe is run from the local computer. It finds the latest version of the app by reading the ini file. When I add a new version of the app I then change the ini file to point to the latest version. The next time they log onto the program the new version of the app is used.
It works great, but is there a performance hit for using just one app on a networked drive that all access, as opposed to having the app on each local computer.
I have 42 users on the system and the performance has been great so far.
Thanks
Gaylen
