I did NOT see any difference between having one user connected or several
users connected on the network using my test program. I recall observing a
difference between 1 and many users in the past as well as it acting
different if you are the last user left vs the only user (no one in DB
before you connect to the DB), but this "single user/multi user" difference
is not happening currently (with MULTI ON, of course).
However, I just determined that the network person made some changes to the
server based on, at least, the following articles. Q296264 "Configuring
Opportunistic Locking in Windows 2000" and Q126026 "Server Optimization in
RFCB Caching", also detailed in a press release from ACSL concerning
problems running DOS based database programs on a Win NT File Server 3.51 or
higher. I do not have specifics at the moment but maybe this info will shed
some light on your situation.

Subject: Re: SET MULTI vs speed
I am unable to replicate your results, with one user connected and only the
MULTI setting changed.
We have been working, however, with RBTI on speed problems with RBase 6.1A,
6.5+, 6.5++ and 6.5++, DOS and Win, on Windows 2000 servers that are similar
to those you experienced. The difference is whether or not one or two users
is connected, always with MULTI ON.
