Some time back, I was involved in a task force that was deciding on
database support policies for our University and we did some tests of
speed.
The FoxBase+ database was on a AppleShare file server running on a Mac II. We
accessed it on a Mac+ and on a Mac II. There was a factor of 2 increase
in performance of most operations when they were performed on a Mac II client as
opposed to the Mac+. It also mattered as to how much free memory was
available on the Mac II.
