That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation - even if its simplified.

SqlServer is designed to run on large server systems and serve up quantities of data (or perhaps comb through a sea of data to find select data). It's probably thus safe to say it is not specifically "designed" for laptop use. :-)

One less obvious issue is that there is a basic difference in 'worldview' in how any relational database views data and how the FLex application code views data. The technical term for this is "impendance mismatch'. Without going into a boring technical explanation on what the mismatch means, I'll just say it means that the database and the code are both not on the same page, so each has to work in ways that are not optimal.
In my experimental work, I was able to get much better performance out of SqlServer. So, it isn't adequate to say SqlServer on a laptop is the issue. I also tested other systems: Firebird, DB4o, Berkeley DB, and an XML file. Each of the tested systems performed better than the current system. The reason for the gain is how the data is actually stored.
