Hi Shaishav,

There should not be a dramatic difference in speed between the P200 and P133 computers. Some, yes, but not a lot. Two things I can think of immediately, 1) is that 16MB is not much breathing room for a VFP app. Try moving the PCs to 32MB if possible. 2) If the 486's and P133's are older machines they may have slower RAM or fragmented hard disks (slowing local caching).

>Now, problem is On the PCs with same configuration P133, 16MB, and using the same HUB and type of cabling. There is a huge difference in performance. And on 486's the Software is running extremely slow. Is there any way to improve the performance of the system.
