The issue is that even when the routine VFP ends up executing is bound into an APP/EXE, the search order means that VFP can go off and search the disk before settling on the bound routine. SYS(2450) lets you turn off that behavior so that you don't spend the time for the search. It doesn't change what gets executed, only how long it takes.
