I'm not really conversant with all of the details, but even though tables are buffered locally, there is a lot of buffer refreshing going on to avoid "dirty buffers" and data clashes. If there is a narrower pipeline for some clients than with others, there is going to be a speed issue regardless.


>Working on a project with a slow network connection (a sigle 10baseT line with around 20 to 40 users crossing it) to the server where a VFP database and tables reside. Users in the building where the data server is run data queries around 5 to 7 times faster than users across the street.
