Assuming the network is not flooded by other talk, a 10-user fp app for a medical/dental practice should be quite quick. I'd say the immediate "culprits" to look for are:
1) locates or views against big tables using unindexed expressions;
2) table file header locks (caused by replace for / append blank which "lock" the whole table; use update / insert instead to get record-level locking, or move to views)
If it isn't one of those, let me know.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
