How does the performance compare to a single-user system?
Overall, performance does not significantly differ from regular, single-user systems. In some cases, Userful Multiplier systems have better response times due the system’s automatic file and memory caching. The only noticeable delays are typically seen when one or more users load large applications into active memory, or when a CPU-intensive process is running. In such cases, other users may notice a slight delay in mouse response, or in loading their own applications; however, this delay is momentary. We have run Internet cafes at numerous conferences around the globe. Users do not realize they are sharing a single PC, even though we put the single PC up on the table and show how the monitors and USB keyboards and mice connect to it. Performance is that good! Now, because stations are connected directly to the PC, you are limited in terms of how far each station can be. That’s why the solution is ideal for computer labs, classrooms, libraries and other areas where PCs are in close phy
