The thing is that VFP stores "everyting" in memory unless it needs the memory for other things. So if you rund a query, the first time VFP reads the data from the HD or the server and keeps the data in the memory. The second time you run the same query, or a very similar query, against the same data, VFP reads the data from the RAM and not the HD/server, and that's why it's so much faster the second time. This process of keeping data in memory is called cache.

So the more RAM, the faster response you get. Up to a point...! :-)
