Shared vs Dedicated.

The difference in normal operations like posting invoices and lookups is small but Dedicated is much faster when doing recalc suggested and stock levels. Dedicated should also be faster if you have many people working at once. Please note that dedicated mode uses much more RAM and CPU.
