query response time

[beginner]

let's say my database is READ-ONLY.
if i do some query and it take 1 second to finish.

1.
what would i expect to happen when 1000 people do the same query at the same time?

2.
a little bit more than 1 second?

3.
did each of them expect the same response time or
some may take longer than other?

It all depends on a lot of factors like:
1. Dedicated or MTS
2. System Resources (CPU, Memory)
3. Cursor Reuse

If you are using dedicated you may a slight performance boost or lag depending greatly on system resource. I would say that you should expect a slight performance degradation, but not much as long as you have ample resource to support such a load.

well it must lag, more users = less throughput although indeed it depends on many factors as zaggy suggested
