>I am trying to support an application written in FPW 2.6. The system uses a lot of flushs to deal with network updates, etc. Recently the user has updated his system to Windows 2000 and we have noticed a tremendous slowdown in the flush commands. Is there any way to alleviate this performance hit?
For one, make sure to check whether there really are changes. FLUSH without a previous REPLACE (or equivalent) still causes a disk access! Checking for changes in memory is much faster.
