Low level file reads might be faster:

LOCAL lnHandle, lnCount

*-----------------------------------------
*-- Get a file handle 
*-----------------------------------------
lnhandle = FOPEN("myFile.txt")

*-----------------------------------------
*-- Move to the first line
*-----------------------------------------
=FSEEK(lnhandle, 0, 0)     

*-----------------------------------------
*-- Loop through each line and count
*-----------------------------------------
lnCount = 0

DO WHILE !FEOF()
  lnCount = lnCount + 1
  =FREAD(lnHandle)
ENDDO

RETURN lnCount
