I'm especially interested in knowing roughly what speed improvement to expect (two-fold? ten-fold?) from Online in the case of a MicroVAX-II workstation with only 8 Meg of memory and a slow I/O bus (ye olde Q-bus). I run a complex 4GL program on many tables of 1-10 meg size. The system is usually single-user.
