Re: network slowdown when near the user limit?

[David Lundgren]

5 users is the edge of peer-to-peer capability. 23 files is a pretty  
strong number too, though obviously way inside what the program can  
handle.

However, if this stuff is anywhere near mission critical to your  
organization, you really need to be on FM Server. The backup  
capabilities alone make it worth the investment, if these people are  
making changes to the thing all day, much less the crash resistance  
of having FM Server handling things. For what it sounds like you're  
doing, actually depending on the system, you've gotta upgrade. You're  
liable to be looking at a bad problem one of these days without it.
