You can now use parallel backups to reduce downtime and improve performance.The FileMaker Server scripting engine has an increased memory cache from 64 MB to 256 MB.Summary fields for hosted custom apps can now be processed by FileMaker Server.When focusing on performance, the following points deserve your attention: The update includes around 400 bug fixes and several useful new features.

Just reading the whole release notes for FileMake Pro and FileMaker Server takes several minutes. New version 19.5 of the whole FileMaker platform was released last week and it's significant. If you try BenchTest on your own and submit your test results, they will usually appear on the BenchTest homepage automatically within a minute or so. In addition to the tests I performed myself, 156 test results got submitted by the community since then with the total of 228 results published on our website at the time I am writing this. If you haven't attended the meeting, you can register to watch the whole recording now: During the meeting I revealed the new version of BenchTest and explained how you can use it yourself to test your own FileMaker configuration performance and compare it to others.
