Jodin Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 OK, who wants to put up some general statements on the speed of server7 versus server5/6? our solution would require 10-20 concurrent users and is a basic small-business app. i'm interested in the speed of LAN FMP clients, WAN FMP clients, and the new webserver in 7.

Fenton Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I don't know exactly. I've seen some comparisons, and it appeared that some things were a little slower on 7, some things were a little faster; but anything having to do with Unstored fields, related fields, etc., was much faster. WAN speeds are many times faster. It is now quite usable over a WAN, whereas 6 was pretty (real) slow. And there are many more things you can do from a client machine.

Computer Geek Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I have found 7 to be much more reliable and faster (overall) then 5.5. You'll thank yourself when you go to 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdurniak Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 The FM7 application itself is somewhat bloated, so you'll need to throw faster hardware at it. FM7 is also slower running sub-summary reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Kessing Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I host just over 320 tables on 3 servers (all Mac OSX FM7 two duel G5s and 1 dual G4). They are servering >20GB of data to a group of >120 people. Like Fenton and COmputer Geek said, I have also found 7 faster than 6 for related database searched and big file searches and file manipulations. The screen updates and menu list drops seem slower which gives it a perception of slower database, but I wouldn't go back. 7 is definitely worth it.
