I've done tests myself. It's definitely faster. But VFP is so fast it's not practically faster. A screen loading in a few seconds still takes a few seconds to load whether or not the compute portion with mDots got done in 0.17 seconds as opposed to 0.27 seconds without mDot.

Haven't found them yet. For all data processing I've ever done, the hard disk / network is by far the slowest factor. VFP is always fast. In fact, I'm amazed how fast it is sometimes.

Nope. I'm cognizant of what the seatbelt analogy entails. I always wear my seatbelt. If I had to use someone's code I didn't know or trust, I would use mDot prefixes. For my own code, it'll never happen.
