Gently does it

Friday: Off for a performance analysis presentation. Contains good news and bad news. Good news is that the software is right-sized for the back and mid tier. Bad news: the application clobbers the user's workstation:fat client. Very easy to over-size the back and mid tiers and not even look at the workstation. Why? My experience is that no-one capacity plans the user's pc because desktop support doesn't even think about capacity planning. Instead, it's 'reboot, re-build'.
