    When dealing with multiple users in FM Pro, your speed is determined
by the speed of the Host Mac. If that host mac happens to be a Q950, and
the database file that it is accessing is on the internal HD instead of
on an AppleShare Server, then you will be seeing a speed increase over
your current set-up. But it is important to remember that if you have
more than 5 users in any single database at the same time, you will
still be crawling. There are limits to FM Pro's multi-user capabilities.
