I guarantee that the final shipping product will have this performance issue also. I have a pending case open with Microsoft, and they have confirmed this.

Doug,

You are right, VFP6 is slower than VFP5 with your test. But my question is what real world situation does this test examine? I odn't forsee having 5 forms opne with 18 pages frames in each and programatically walking through each form and page.

When I ran the test with more realistic values of 5 forms with 5 pages I got 1.63 for VFP6 and 1.17 for VFP5, not an earth shattering difference.
