    Hard to tell without knowing your solution architecture, I could go sure upgrade the db server to 4gigs of ram but if there's only a 50mb database on there it won't do anything to the performance, same for other upgrades if you're doing 'stupid' stuff in your gui that drags down the performance you can upgrade random stuff all you want but performanc would stay the same.  I suggest you build in some measuring/pofiling into your application, look what is causing the delay and go from there.  Upgrading random components hoping that it would improve performance is never the way to go, measureing and finding the root cause is the way to go.

    upgrade? haiz...its Fujitsu server and its not going to be cheap. DB size wise is not that worry cause it does have quite a no of storage avail.
    wats the best practice to build the measuring/pofiling into my appz? Any plc i can download the sample.

    If you can visit the customersite with your code you could try something like redgate antz if thats not an option you have no other option then to include lots of logging in your application.

    hiya Eric,
      I have not got the change to visit my customer's place to test it out so I can't answer you that. Anyway, running appz on fw2.0 sure is surely slow. Will try to figure out something. Maybe balance out server processing with client and see how.
