Hi All,

I am doing a raw speed test on some very simple operations to compare basic VFP operations with another language. Would some of you care to do a similar test against another language of your choice? e.g. Python, PHP, VB.Net, whatever. I am looking for VFP speed vs. language_of_your_choice speed on the same machine. Here are two simple tests manipulating some numbers and building a string in VFP

CLEAR
tStartTime = SECONDS()
ta=0
FOR i = 1 TO 1000000
  ta = Log(i) + Cos(i) + Sin(i) + Log(i) + exp(i)
next  
? SECONDS() - tStartTime 

*

tStartTime = SECONDS()
ta = ""
FOR i = 1 TO 1000000
  ta = ta + "xx"
next  
? SECONDS() - tStartTime
