   Vista is running slowly on multiuser app

   Greetings, all.   
      
   I've got a problem running Vista (shocker!), using Pdox 9 Runtime sp3.  On   
   a 2 computer network, with both running Vista, my app runs great as a single   
   user from either machine.  As soon as the second one is started, however,   
   the 'client' workstation slows to a near lockup.  The 'server' (which hosts   
   the data) also slows, but not as dramatically.   
      
   I've run Ethereal's network monitor, and the Vista performance monitoring   
   tools, and while the slowdown is happening, there isn't an obvious cause   
   - no resources are pinned at 100%, and very little network traffic is   
   happening.   
      
   To me, it seems like there is some sort of delay built into the file sharing   
   or locking, but that's just a WAG.   
      
   Does anyone know of a magic bullet to speed up Vista?  I checked all the   
   old XP tricks - no offline printers, etc., but could not speed it up.   
      
   Note that I have hundreds of clients running all previous versions of Windows   
   without a problem.   
      
   TIA,
