>Well, I've not had any complaints and with 100 and 1000 Mbps networks, bringing 4 MB or 10 MB into memory is not slow. It's mostly just a personal preference.
Don't worry that you don't get complaints, try to get congratulations by making it faster.
Funny how many things get put down to personal preference. It is measurable how slow it is. It is measurable how much network traffic is being caused. There is data supporting the practice.
Every access of every form, report, PRG also causes network traffic - all of which would go away with the exes on the local machine. Since you're already using the loader why not go all the way?

>>Yes, a quicker startup one of several potential advantages of doing that. When no updates are available to pull down, you're starting directly from the hard drive, which is faster than starting from the server. Certainly makes a difference on a network with alot of traffic, but I think even so on one that doesn't.
