Hi Ken,
Do you have CE installed on a desktop or on a server? We use CE9 (CE10
came in the mail yesterday) and it is installed on a dedicated server with
IIS running. I've never explored performance issues, but our network
administrator has never approached me with any concerns. This server is
used for a number of other applications and as a file server. I'm sure if
there were problems, he would have talked to me about them so that we could
resolve them. We have been using Seagate Info / Crystal Enterprise for a
few years, but I would not consider myself an expert with all of its
features and abilities.
