oh haha, I forgot I can test it <g>

program I used:

use MyTable in 0 order tag MyTag shared
count to n
go top
?seconds()
do while not eof()
  skip
enddo
?seconds()

go top
?seconds()
skip n
?seconds()

result I got:

53326.786
53326.798
53326.799
53326.804

My table has 2000 records, skip 2000 is obviously faster..
I dunno if it's accurate to test in this way though :)
