I've found that VFP, without having some curbs placed on its appetites, will eat further and further into NT's available virtual address space, and it thrashes out fairly quickly. I'd try reseting SYS(3050) to allow VFP to use no more than ~ 1/2-1/3 of the available physical memory for buffering (IOW, set it to 20M-30M) and see if things improve a bit.

Okay, I've never actually had to use that before, though I've played around with it, and recommended others to try it :) I'll give it a shot...

While I've got your attention, how does that 200MB page sound? I have no idea how to set this for NTWS, though I never have problems on servers with this size for the C: drive.

Also, how about the NT foreground "Application Performance" - the default Boost is set to Max. Do you know if this has any effect?
