[Macpartners] Mac update and FileMaker 5.5

[Tom Pixton]

We are running a relational database in FileMaker Server 5.5, with 
around 10 clients, on Mac OS X 2.8 Server. We recently installed the 
Apple Security Update 2004-09-07, and now experience a very reduced 
performance with FileMaker. There seems to be no other interference 
on our local network. Has anyone experienced this and is there any 
solution?

Thanks
