Generally we have users RDP to the server for large reports. I'd love to hear about your suggestions for optimizing the Pervasive SQL engine. While I agree we have a lot of users for Peachtree (~7) and a lot of inventory items (10,000+), we have other applications that use MySQL for the back end and contain far more than 10x the amount of data yet process per item reports 10x faster. We run a gigabit network and computers average 350Mbps reading from the server (which is a RAID 5 array with Windows Server 2008 32 bit and 4GB RAM), so I doubt the network/server hardware is the problem. I'd run more RAM and 64 bit Server 2008, but I keep hearing about bad Peachtree behavior in that environment. We would upgrade to 2010, but other businesses we know who have complain about similar performance issues. We are running Peachtree Quantum 2009 and the performance has always been barely acceptable.
