FoxPro has always gotten it's speed from doing things in memory vs. on disk. If you don't have sufficent memory, then the OS provides "virtual memory" with is really just mapped to disk. It appears that VFP 6.0 requires a larger amount of memory to do somethings, and I'm assuming they have added more overhead to some functions to provide more features and better integrity / error handling. (At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it <g>.)
