Hi!

Really, I see nothing to worry about. Many VFP applications have server-side processed to pack databases each night. Many servers set up to run defragmentation automatically at some period of time. Clustering is not such a great problem. Good organizing of database structure and application logic will help to speed up application working much more than solving clustering problems.
