Client performance in AREV 3.12 with Universal Driver on XP (AREV Specific)

I recently ported an AREV 3.12 application from a Novell server to a Windows 2003 server. We are running Universal Driver 3.0. Running some performance tests, file selects seem to take twice as long as they did on Novell. Any suggestions for improving performance?

1) Use local select/sort directory
2) Upgrade back to novell

Karen,
thanks for your suggestions. I already have a local lists table for each client. What else should I maintain locally?

We run our Arev on Netware, but have Windows servers for other uses. Since it is windows, throw hardware at it. Don't foreget to reboot windows on a scheduled, oh wait they request that automatically by crashing. :-0
Gigabit NIC cards and switches if you are network bound.
Faster server CPUs, with hyperthreading, more server memory if you are server processor bound.
And if you are disk bound, split the arev database onto several servers (some arev tables on one server some on another). This requires one revelation network service per server and changing volumes (which will require rebuilding indexes on any indexed tables that are moved). Take care to ensure you don't put all your commonly selected files on the same server! If you do, it won't help.
Otherwise all I have seen on the forums;
is fastest is Netware and IPX drivers - where you were.and slower is Windows and UD - where you are.

Under environment, hardware, workstation, make sure that
DOS path for temporary files
is set to a local directory (and that the directory exists).
Otherwise, all you can do is toss hardware at the problem - faster NIC's, better switches (no hubs/dumb routers), faster server drives (but some caching solutions corrupt the files), faster server and more memory, etc.

Make sure there are no LH3.log or LH3SRVC.log files anywhere on the system possibly left there after installation of the UD.
