>LOCATE is only faster than GO TOP when the table has an optimizable filter on it.
Hmm...is this another of these semi-myths like having a Deleted index then, where it's highly situational? I've been hearing we should use LOCA for some years now from the experts, though I have noticed no discernable performance bump, and still use GO TOP for legacy/readability purposes anyway.
