I agree completely. We have to use a DOS version of Cosession Host 6.1 to communicate with a DOS app at our scale houses. Needless to say, the 350 mghz processor blows right past this communication program. We are using a slowdown utility and calling it from a batch file to run the communication batch file only. When it is done communicating, it sets the speed back to 350 mghz. You can set a throttle with the utility, but you really don't know the speed you are setting it. A 1 on the throttle is almost no slowing and 65,500 is as slow as the processor can be brought down. I have the throttle set at 10,000 which is pretty fast, but the DOS program works. I may be able to tweak it even a little faster.
I don't want to have to use this utility with VFP, but I need to know if anyone else has VFP apps on faster machines and how fast a processor is working good. Since I am seeing the behavior at 350, but it works good at 200 - how does it work with 266 or say 300?
