That is an impressive analysis and at the level we have come to expect from you. And I mean the following to come across in no way condescending.
Now the actual bottom line is what a good many of us are seeing in our offices. I am comparing v6.1.2 with v8.2.2 on the same client and server. Basically, at a crucial point of use, namely opening and closing a chart, the earlier version is 6X and 4X as fast, respectively. It is, in short, unusable and the burden to fix it is not on the 10,000 users but on AC.
Are you doing this test over the network. I had no issues on my virtual machine. It was only when accessing the database with just one machine that I had the issue.
