No? Maybe it is not the vfp application by itself, but the newtork maybe?

Windows server 2003 in most of the case

Yes, several memo fields with replaces. But the slow problem is mostly when we make inquiries or when we load info in a form.

Most of them are XP workstations, some Win98.

Yes

It is a huge application. I believe most of our indexes are ok but we may have some fine tuning there..
