Dear fellow MM users,

I have a form which I've been using successfully for about a year. I'm now stress testing it with very large data sets, and it is very slow to instantiate.

I'm in the process of tweaking it, including using delayed instantiation of pageframe, optimizing my views, using the coverage profiler, etc. My problem is in testing, and it's a wierd problem:

When I first instantiate the form, it takes about 30 seconds to instantiate. Every time after that, it takes only a few seconds to instantiate. If I quite out of VFP and go back in, it still takes only a few seconds to instantiate. If I "do main" it still only takes a few seconds to instantiate. The only way I've discovered to replicate the 30 second lag is to restart my machine. So in order to really test my changes, I need to restart my machine.

I'm running VFP 7, MM 7, on Windows XP. I'm running all data locally (i.e. not off a network), and I'm using VFP as the backend.

Any thoughts? Also, any additional "speeding up" tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David
