Bruce,

You'd probably gain a lot by moving the calculation intense part of the app to some DLL functions written in C++. Some things are 2 to 3 orders of magnitude faster in compiled C++ code vs VFP pcode.

>Yes, for short duration loops, I guess so, with seconds, who cares?...but we're talking, what, a 28% speed improvement, so that if you have either a large number of iterations and/or lots of processing, that 28% or so might come in handy...in my case, we're talking about hours :)
