[AccessD] Access, Citrix, and Processor usage

Hi all,

   We are delivering a networked app that will be delivered thru Citrix.  It
is an A2K FE with mdb BE.  Later this year, we will be moving it to SQL
Server with ODBC connections.  There may be as many as 50 people logged in
to the app at once, but not nearly that much simultaneous use.  The Citrix
hoster was testing it and found that with single user attached, performing a
single query, a dual PIII 500MHz server was hitting the CPU up to 57%.  They
are very concerned about this.  We have another similar app running for
another client, and it works fine.  Does anyone have info about this kind of
processor usage running Access, and how this affects Citrix?  I know this
kind of app works, but we could use some hard documentation.  Any help is
much appreciated.  The client has sent out a highly cc'ed email calling this
a "p***ing contest" between us and the Citrix hoster, which it's not.  We
each have our own technical sphere and are just trying to make this project
work.  They have a meeting this afternoon, and it would be good to get
something to them by then.
