http://paulmcnett.com/vfp_python_smackdown I have a 159K file to read (Dabo's dGrid.py) and the python script to count each line of the file, and each char in each line, and print the results to standard output. I ran this twenty times on my server using python 2.5.1 and it took between 0.0 and .04 seconds each time, although the 0.0 and .04 were outliers: most of the times were like .003. If someone wants to write the equivalent VFP script I'll post it there, too.
