I know. You said it here, too, Dave. :-) In that thread I recommended getting rid of the fancy-pants SYS(3050) call entirely and just hardcode the value you want to use. There's enough other hearsay out there that says allocating anything more than 512MB will not speed up VFP performance and may actually degrade it. But as Uncle Ted always tells us, you have to test in your environment to truly optimize.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Thanks for that update.
