You can also increase the IO threads and communication threads in the local engine configuration. There are PVSW tweaks - if you run the PCC and configure microkernel router - you can deselect SPX and NetBIOS in the communication protocols to decrease network broadcast traffic. The older machines generally had larger processors with fewer threads - so the old machine was running at 3.2ghz and the new one is running at 1.6ghz. Typically PVSW 32bit will only use 1 core/thread on your processor (so I was told in the past - I can't confirm that though). Have you confirmed your network speeds - are the NIC's reporting at 100 megs or 1Gb? Sometimes the wrong network driver on a machine can lead to it reporting at 1000 but it only has 100 throughput. What Antivirus are you running? Have you set the exclusions for the PVSW processes and the network shares (both on the server and the workstations)? You will need to purchase the upgrade from Sage - +- R80 per pvsw user as far as I recall.Īfter a total network change like that, there are a few things to check.

What PVSW are you running - V10? There is a 64bit workgroup V13. I have to be honest the backwards compatibility features of Windows 10 is just a gimmick and rarely works with any software from my experience. I even ran Pastel Payroll in Windows 7 compatibility mode on the client PC's but no joy either. The server is an i5 with 8GB of RAM (the old server was a Pentium Dual Core also with 8GB of RAM, so basically the new machine is stronger than the old server and newer and faster RAM, so I am sure Windows 10 is the main culprit here) I can use remote Desktop and run it like that from the client PC's, but that is not ideal because then only one PC can run Payroll at a time. Second thing, is there anything else I can do to make Payroll run faster, it is much faster running Pastel Payroll directly on the server.

So I am wondering, is there a 64bit version of Pervasive SQL Workgroup for Windows, because I only have the 32 bit version and can't find a download for the 64 bit version anywhere. So now everything is on Windows 10, including the server and Pastel Payroll is terribly slow. Even though all the machines connected to the Payroll DB over the network, the Windows 7 machines still outperformed the Windows 10 machine. Do note these machines were client PC's connecting to the Windows 7 machine where the Pastel Payroll server were installed. I ran Windows 7 on most of my machines and noticed that specifically Pastel Payroll runs extremely faster on the Windows 7 machines than on my Windows 10 Laptop, best of all the Windows 7 machines are Core i3 machines with only 4GB of ram but my Laptop were a Dell i7 with 8GB of ram. Hi I recently had to upgrade my whole network to Windows 10 PC's (had to replace all my computer equipment after a burglary in my office, thank you South Africa for making me part of the crime stats, I am honored).
