I've done this. The biggest advantage is that if you make your VFP tables properly (make them compatible with SQL Server tables - for example use DATETIME fields, and not Date fields) - then when you want to move from VFP backend, to SQL Server backend, all you have to do is change the connection string your remote views are using.
I did not have any problems with speed to access the data.
