When VFP 3.0 came out I heard that someone wanted to know when a preformance hit got noticeable enough. He got to something like 300 levels. I haven't tried this myself, but it should be easy enough to test.

The other thing to consider is the complexity of the class. I would think that the more complex the class, the longer it takes to instantiate a subclass.
