From my BusinessObjects administrator.... From our experience the performance on thin client is relatively similar (perhaps a bit slower) to running BusinessObjects on a local machine using the same configuration. (ie data is channelled via a connection on the BusinessObjects server.) The only meaningful performance increase is when you use local connections to pull data directly from the database straight to your workstation. However, this would be a nightmare to administer on a larger scale Running BusinessObjects on workstations would have far worse impact on Network utilisation as large amounts of data would be travelling around WAN links. In the long term it would be better to move to using the web version on BusinessObjects. This is where the full client functionality is provided via a web interface and all processing and data transfer would occur between the BusinessObjects server and web server. This is perfect for situations where only small amounts of bandwidth is available and this is how we envision BusinessObjects being available for schools.
