Lois, That all depends on the apps that are running on those other acocunts as well as how much system resources are available to the overall system. If it's a monster system with tons of RAM, a really fast CPU, a great performance chipset, etc. and the apps are not too computationally intensive (i.e. 3D modeling, video encoding, etc.), then you should never even notice even a slight difference. On the other hand, I wouldn't try it with a $400 system from BestBuys.
