Hi Ken. First is important to remove any differences between the two systems.

Run the foxdos app from the NT server and also run the VFP app from the netware server. This will elminate whether it is an NT vs Netware or server1 vs server2 issue.

Once the app is on the same server platform run the coverage profiler and see where it is spending most of its time.
