200 connections peer second peer processor equals 200*3600*12 (8 64 
000) equals lots of power available to serve your datas. For more 
power, the best is to handle big redondant clusters running each one an 
applications server+an ACID compliant RDBMS, all binded together trough 
a replicator management system - the new PostgreSQL one seems 
interesting). From my own experience, the power is no more the main 
difficulty or cost. To be realy suitable to the customers needs, a 
networked app have to be well designed and easy to improve and 
maintain, year after year (the time of "definitive apps" has gone ;-)

Don't missunderstand : Revolution is full suitable to build rock solid 
TCP/IP applications servers, not to replace the ACID RDBMS we are aware 
with. Rev is not a database server engine (nor Java is) and, even if it 
could be ways to program it in this way, why would we have to reinvent 
the wheel when PostgreSQL, FireBird, SAPDB or, even Sybase ASE ,are 
there to handle this part of the job for us.

I hope you will find the power you need in speeding it !
