SUMMARY
The FILTER COMMAND can be slow on networks because the filter is evaluated each time the record pointer is moved. Using a filtered index can help to improve performance.

Extensive use of macro substitution slows down any program. It does not matter if the program is running single-user or multi-user.

Using a math coprocessor helps to increase speed in math-intensive programs and helps to increase speed in drawing screens.

Changing the settings of the &quot;bucket,&quot; &quot;hmemory,&quot; and &quot;mvarsiz&quot; values in the CONFIG.FX file can help to maximize the use of available memory and to increase processing speed. See the chapter on Configurable Allocation Items in the FoxBASE+ &quot;User's Guide&quot; for more information.



MORE INFORMATION
Because FoxBASE+ has its own internal cache, using another cache program is not recommended. Certain cache routines may not follow the standard, which may lead to database corruption.
