>I have tried a compiled VFP 6.0 standalone(.EXE) application on an Intel 486 clone running Win95 and it is desperately slow (even when it is loading). The program is 1.6 MB in size. Is this a normal situation or can execution be optimized ? There is such a huge difference when running the same program in a Pentium 200 Mhz PC.

486 is too slow for much of anything now. Most agency apps won't even run on one here, though my vfp apps would probably run, very slowly. Even p90 or 100 is too slow for most apps. We've obsoleted anything below 200/32 RAM, and soon that will increase to 300/64. You know you can purchase decent quality 400s for less then a $1000. It's time to upgrade, I'd say...if you're willing to settle for 300 to 350s, they're extremely cheap now...
