Dear John
In comparing speed of dotNET to VFP, you simply *must* define the specific task you are comparing. This is that same old "one slogan does not match every circumstance" problem.
If the task is driving down a rocky river bed, insisting that a Porsche is faster than a Humvee is a waste of everybody's time.
Ditto with VFP and dotNET. The reality is that for many needs, performance is not the main issue anyway- the pipe is the bottleneck, not the app.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
