We're using MereMortals framework. We switched to VFP9 few days ago. We have one complicated form with lots of Business objects. When we save data in VFP8, it happens quickly. If we do the same in VFP9, it takes almost a minute to save.

Nadya,

I bandwagon for developer built frameworks and advocate xBase over table buffering. Thats the only way to build a fast interface.

As you may be aware of, general purpose off the shelf frameworks are, by nature, slow (and fat). Add to this the fact that table buffering (rather than xBase [seek and replace]) services file transactions, only slows it more.

Even the noticed "better" performance in VFP 8 would seem [very] slow when compared to the performance of a shop [built] specific framework and xBase.

They have you on the team! They have an oppertunity to build a high performance app!:-)
