How to split apps up for optimum performance

[Mike Grigsby]

Let's say I wanted to do a financial application with a GL, AP, and AR. Would it be better from strictly a performance (speed) standpoint to a) build it all into one EXE, or b) split them out into their own apps and direct users to each functions?

The reason I ask is because I'm doing many customized demos for clients of an app we offer. I run about 10 instances of the same app on different ports and it seems to be bogging down the speed a bit.

Hi Mike,

There's no advantage, or disadvantage, to using multiple apps.
The speed constraints of the system are what they always are - CPU, Ram, Disk, bandwidth and so on. If the apps are not typically being used at the same time (but are running at the same time) then I'd suspect RAM as the primary issue.
