I take great exception to that. I'm forced to spend a great deal of my = time, optimizing VFP code to get decent performance. VFP's habit of = bitblt()ing everything for the GUI, severely hurting performance. It = takes 110ms to update a 3000 pixel long grid when only 500 or so of it = is showing! Try doing that, along with all your other complex logic = under a button, and still get it to seem responsive...
