You need an index to see the difference! With a matching index, your results would be something like 36 seconds and 0.001 second, respectively!

And by the way, make sure that CPDBF() for the table shows the same value as CPCURRENT(). This is not important for VFP7 and VFP88 (a bug, really), but is very important for VFP9.
