Sure, I guess... however, I would hardly consider this a realistic test of how most people might run Fox against that server. The app was written by someone who was learning Fox as he wrote (all 70,000+ lines of) it. In all that code it has maybe a dozen SELECT - SQL statements. Needless to say, it won't be a valid test of relative speed.

One of these years we'll convert them to a modern VFP app. :-)
