Hi,
The AR System is not resource intensive. Some applications may be though,
in one way or the other.
My experience is that bandwidth is typically not the problem in situations
like this. It is the number of calls between the client and the server

I have heard the "Remote Mid-Tier Rumor" as well, and honestly have

There has been some testing in house with Riverbed for other
applications. It was noted that the compression helped reduce bandwidth
issues. It was also noted that compression does not help solve latency
issues that are inherent with wide area networks and communicating half

I'm interested in this one also. We have a requirement for Kerberos also.
