JS Client app & busy Omnis server

Hi Clifford,

I can elaborate…

Take a 50 user licence and get Omnis to give you 10 5-user licences. Then run various omnis web server runtimes (either on the same physical box or different boxes) and use the Omnis Load Sharing Processor to mange where the connection goes.

It does, if you have an interface heavy application then the amount of memory used per user by Omnis is high. The complex your design is the higher the memory usage is, this counts for both visual and non-visual complexity.

I must say that this was for Studio 4.x environment but I am confident that it still applies (to some degree) for Studio 6.x too. Not sure about 8.x though as there have been huge improvements with the Omnis codebase.
