I just ran a simple select * query in the Query Analyzer. It reported an execution time of 00:00:04. I ran the same query in VFP and it was so fast it wouldn't even register on the clock. You really don't need the clock at all to tell which is faster. VFP is so fast that the results are in face your instantly. In SQL Server you can actually see the clock counting.

Then try to scroll through the result sets. VFP moves so fast the gird lines are a blur, in SQL Server it moves much slower, and if you move the scroll bar too far you can overload it and it will jump back.

My machine is a pentium 550 with 250 RAM.
