FM Server vs Shared-Client Performance

We have two groups using FM 5: one is a Mac group running FM server; the other is a PC group, and they run their databases off a server share (not running FM server). Both groups have been using FM in this way for several years. Now, the Mac group claims that their performance drops dramatically when the PC group uses its FM databases. The PC users have reported no performance issues. Both groups are small, about seven users each. The PC group databases are also very small, 7 databases with a total size of less than 10MB; the Mac group databases are very large.

Absolutely no changes have been made to the network/server infrastructure in six months. Each group is on its own network switch segment.

Has anyone seen performance conflicts with one group running FM server and another running FM in a shared-client mode?
