Would it be possible to get versions of the same tables re-located on the local network? That would create a more consistent environment for your test.

Great idea, I've given that a go by placing 7 different folders on my local server.

I ran them 3 times just to get a feel, really I would say they were pretty much equal:

         VFP                C#

Run 1    2.01 secs          1.81 secs
Run 2    1.49 secs          1.88 secs
Run 3    2.60 secs          1.79 secs

Average  2.03 secs          1.82 secs

Bearing in mind the extra stuff the C# app is doing, I would say that's pretty impressive.
