As far as performance is concerned, what are the tradeoffs and what is the general consensus about installing a multiuser app?

I'm assuming that the only difference in performance will be at the time of starting the .EXE. It'll be obviously faster to start locally than off the server, but the downside is multiple copies that need to be maintained, updated, etc

But is there more to it? If i've got a 2MB .EXE on a server, will it be CONTINUALLY slower during execution, or has it all been read into memory once it starts and so there won't be any more performance difference from the .EXE started locally?

In these scenarios the VFP runtime files will ALWAYS reside locally.

Am I right or am I missing something which might direct me to put my .EXE on each local machine?

All input welcome!
