TRABEM

I have to do a complete wipe and reinstallation of XP. It runs slow,
reasons unknown.

Anyway, on the old system, we had 2 users, both with administrative
privileges.

I need to know whether multiple users will cause the performance to
drop in a major way. I understand the answer is yes IF both users
remain active with programs running. But, we close our programs and
log off completely when we switch users.

Will multiple users on a system bog it down if only one user has
programs running and the other user is logged off?

Thanks,

T
 
Absolutely , unequivicobaly, not.

The only time I have seen the amount of users effect performance is on
Domain Controllers. Specifically when replication occurs or when
authentication has to happen. And that was in the days of NT 4.0 and when
you had over several thousand accounts.
