Yes, I'm an original veteran of NOFILTER, been using it since early vfp5 :) I need it virtually everywhere in my simple SQLs. Haven't noticed any performance problems using it on large tables, as long as Rushmore is in effect at least partially. Though our machines, servers, and lines are so fast now that maybe it's not surprising...
