(VFP9SP1)

This legacy code has several instances like this:

  SELECT MyTableOnLAN
  SET ORDER TO MyOrder
  SEEK MyValue
  IF FOUND() ...


I can't recall where, but I thought I had heard long ago that there was a
performance penalty of sorts for doing a SET ORDER TO <index> like that. 
It'd be easy to replace these with IF
SEEK(MyValue,"MyTableOnLAN","MyOrder") logic, but of course I don't want
to make changes on stuff that may not be broken or things that may not
contribute to bugs.

Does anyone recall if there was a performance penalty for doing a SET
ORDER TO call, explicitly setting the index on a LAN table?
