even with trivial datasets on a standalone machine.

Even from the command line, if I run

REPORT FORM XXX PREVIEW IN SCREEN

for a trivial report with a few hundred records

it can take up to a minute to display the result.

If I immediately repeat the command, it will typically halve the time.

After four or five attempts, it is instantaneous.

So it is clearly behaving like there is some kind of cacheing issue but on such trivial reports and trivial amounts of local data, this doesn't make sense.

It's only been an issue since VFP9 and it seems to be more of a problem for me than my clients (fortunately - or they'd be ripping me apart!) Which suggests its something to do with the VFP environment but I can't track it down.

Any suggestions?
