>You mentioned that Set Delete does make a difference and this is what I found on this side as well. But, then, this mean that your benchmarks might be wrong because they do not reflect that. You have 7 minutes in 2.6a and 6 minutes 54 seconds in 5.0 which is almost the same. Or, I am missing something?


Look at the code, the time() function is being displayed before and after
each scan in 2.6 and 5.0, it is the same code running in both versions.
Time() is displaying a start time and an end time of each scan for section,
so just subtract the start from the end time and you get how long it took
to perform that process. That is why I included the code so that anyone
can run this program on their own open table.
