Faster than previous version?

[Megalo]

Hi, Forum!

My company uses FileMaker Pro and Server as our basic Database for operations.

Our database is pretty huge.

It holds over 40 files, and each of them is up to 4.5GB at most.

Most of them have relationships each other.

It's running under FileMaker Server 11 with PC,

which has 2 x 3GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon, and 12GB 667MHz DDR2.

Every morning, we run the script that does import, calculate, and bunch of field sets.

It takes about 2 hours straight.

If I could make it shorter with 12, I'd like to switch to FileMaker Pro12 and Server12.

Do you guys think that it gets shorter?? According to its press release, FileMaker12 officially supports 64bit now!!

In addition, it uses many List View and Table views.

No it will be slower, and terribly slower if you use List View and Table views.

Plus, Filemaker IS NOT 64 bit, only Filemaker Server is 64bit.

My script, like yours, are 10% to 20% slower (aside from list view which is unusable).

Server is faster, but client is so slower that it doesn't matter aside from specific things like:

- Containers,

- Valuelist

- Perharps find

But you can donwload the trial and see for yourself

In some instances it is faster... in other instances like actually viewing records and list views its painfully slower and FM need to fix it quick.

Thanks a lot for the precious information.

I'll just wait for the next update.

Actually, you should probably sign up for the Developer Subscription, get the 3 user license of FMSA 12, load it onto a development box and do some testing with the trial version of FMP 12. No point in wondering whether 12 os faster than 11 or not.
