Roger,

Apps that are CPU intensive will bog down any machine, but the hooks that are being put into Winframe and now Terminal Server help get rid of this problem.

For example, the thread running the Access lookup on a regular machine will bog down the whole machine, but Winframe and Terminal Server is shouldn't be as bad because they change the Thread Priority (any time critical threads now run at psuedo time critical). The multiuser interface gets real time critical. So the access app will take longer to execute on a Winframe, Terminal Server frame, because it doesn't get the full CPU cycles. This is so other apps can run even with a big app taking much of the CPU.

Also, a person typing using their Word document gets a terminal I/O boost from the Kernel. So typing will not be delayed for that person.
