>We have a large (234 tables, 394 screens) FPW 2.6b for Windows application which runs on a Windows 2008 (32 bit) Terminal Server.

All versions of Server 2008 went end of life 2020-01-14 (3 years ago). No-one should be using that platform in production any longer.
Current versions of Windows Server are 64-bit only and can't run 16-bit FPW apps. FPW apps must be converted to 32-bit VFP to be able to run on a modern Windows platform.

If this is your situation, bear in mind the new server(s) your app will run on will be much more powerful than the current one(s). Even if VFP is, say, 25% slower overall than FPW, it will still be faster on the new hardware than FPW on the old.

In that case, these performance questions are academic:
- You're committed to switching to VFP
- You're committed to new hardware

So, believe it or not, a fair comparison is actually between FPW on the old hardware vs VFP on new.
