Can you be a bit more specific later on in diffentiating between programming language and data access speeds ?

I understand that WinDev builds in a lot or extra space for future record additions so not sure if that is the main cause but they are about 2 or 3 times larger. The database also has various functions you can call / access to calculate statistics, optimize the indexes, etc.

Partly OT: when I know the the read/write ratio is large, I compress the dbf and fpt. In Windev index might be added to such a list...

thx for the time you invest in posting your findings
