Take a look at the attached picture (you must be registered and logged in to see it) and allow me to explain.
What makes Servoy so cool is the fact that Java is multi-threaded. On top of this, you can run multiple copies of your client on the same machine because they each run in their own memory space. Try this with FileMaker, Access or Lotus Notes!
This is a picture of my desktop with a copy of Servoy Developer running through a process of sending email to a couple thousand registered users on my web site. Behind it is a copy of Servoy Client that I opened along side the copy of developer. If I wanted, I could open any number of clients as long as I don't run out of licenses and memory (I have 1GB so I could handle many copies of Servoy running at the same time). This means I can still work with the database while one client runs a process and the other is free to use.
Here's the great part. THREADS!!!!!! Oh my GOSH! When I used to do this process with FileMaker, FMP would totally HOG the CPU for well above 90% CPU usage. Make notice of the fact that my copy of Servoy developer is only consuming an average of 10% when it is the foreground OR background. The spikes you see in the CPU Usage History was me using Photoshop!!!!! WHILE my Servoy process was sending out email.
This picture and the power of Servoy is a testament to the forethought and plain, unabashed, simple COOOOOOLNESS that the Servoy developers are putting into such a powerful application. WAY TO GO SERVOY!!!!
P.S. Yes, I posted this message and read the forums while my Servoy was cranking away!
