Yeah, I may not be using the right terminology, but look at my
suggestions as generally correct if not using the right glossary.  In
the database arena I'm more of a semi-sophisticated user than a domain
expert.  I assume you are a domain expert, at least relative to my
database experience, an opportunity for me to learn.  What may be
confusing is I do have a lot of engineering experience.

In this case I considered processing two asynchronous events (second+
user) arriving at the same time, not raw processing throughput, a
different kind of performance.  Even the "sync data" proposal in a SOHO
environment shouldn't stress today's multi-core, gigabit memory
commodity computers for throughput in a SOHO environment.  I'm thinking
more race conditions caused by async (two+ user) events.  Still thinking
SOHO.

Fair enough.  Hopefully architecture framework design decisions can
support this sort of future "plugin" expansion.  Guess I'd better look
for "plugin support documentation", see what I can figure out.
