Re: Technology preview: IBM i Access Client Solutions

Don't hope for too much performance improvement.  The problem is not on 
the client, rather the server side of the transaction and they have 
"more work to do", quoting an unnamed IBMr who was discussing this with 
me at COMMON in Anaheim recently.    Look to a future Technology Refresh 
for improvements.
