Getting A Bigger Slice Of The LAN Pie For My App?

[(PeteCresswell)]

Help Desk at a client site steered me to TaskMan's LAN stats window, but advised
that Windows makes it's own decisions about how much bandwidth each app gets.

Looks to me like there's plenty unused bandwidth when my app is running.

Does anybody know of a way to get some of it for the app?

Put this code in your startup:
SetOption "LAN Bandwidth", 100%
Just kidding...

Here is an idea that would make your app consume more bandwidth: drop
all indexes from all tables. Then when you:
select * from Customers where State='AZ'
*all* records will be sent over the network to your app, rather than
just the State index fields.

Needless me.requery will also generate more network traffic - you get
the idea,

Windows will give your app all the bandwidth it needs, to the extent
that it's available. Focussing miopically on a few perfmon stats will
probably not yield too many fruits.

That's a good thing isn't it?

Make it less efficient like Tom said :-)

Don't treat taskman like an Oracle, it doesn't tell you everything. I
was trying to create a DVD yesterday, the source files were on the
network. The network was going about 12%, the CPU about 15% so it looked
like the application was hardly using any resources but the machine was
as sluggish as hell (cue the usual thread jumper that asks how do I know
that hell is sluggish).
