VFP use an file relational data model, .NET use an object data model,
this is enough to understand the result.
It doesn't serve any tests comparative.

Where vfp is slower it is only a problem of implementation,
but intrinsically vfp is more express than at least a factor 10.

MS .net Team can pass to 100000 developers,
but enough a good developer in the vfpt to win the competition.

Can a truck win with an car ?

If the truck loses it is not guilt of the truck's driver.
