Server Optimization by Charles Carroll
Improving server performance is not so well documented and
many of the articles lean towards vague, not specific tips. Here are our tips in we hope
as concrete a way as possible.
THREAD TIP: Increase threads per processor
from 4 to 20 for each CPU.
thanks to Smiling Jack for this one:

Implement the ADOFre15.reg file!
If you don't use Access, run ADO as FREE THREADED instead of both.

WARNING: Access or any STA driver will not function
well and may corrupt data. Do not make this change if you are running any Access code in
the box.
