As administrator... no. Not unless you are talking about moving to a RAD array 
specifically setup for what you are doing. Does this "involved set of 
processing" involve writing or reading?

The developer can make it crawl or fly depending upon how the application is 
written, and if it takes advantage of indexes to speed searches.

 From you voice I think that you have a feel for how MySQL/PostgreSQL/etc... may 
work. filePro is COMPLETELY different. While the developer may build many 
indexes in the application, unless he/she specifically uses them in a manner to 
speed things up, you are stuck.

Also, I don't think filePro is available in X86_64, so going 64 bit is probably 
going to be either futile or slower still
