I should have mentioned that the app will only be used on a LAN based environment for an inhouse order entry system.
bandwidth is not the issue, 100 meg ethernet between all the clients and the server. I'm just cautious that when they go from 1000 products, 300 suppliers and 3600 customers to numbers 10x that size (which is likely within the next year) that these screens will start to really bog down... of course I've tried to limit the point of taking this big hit by doing things like telling them if the customer pre-exists in the system, look them up first and create an order from a screen that will at least pre-populate the customer field info... this takes one chunk out of the render process, but i still have 1000 products and suppliers to deal with. ;) I was thinking of maybe trying to start analyzing which data is rarely used, and start moving that to an archived state... thus reducing the amount of data that has to be loaded each and every time. has anyone done anything like this? could be a good use of creating a turbine scheduled job to peruse the data and mark off things which haven't been sold in the past two years to just being archived...
