Hi,
Put simply, the record "update" forces a flushing of all the buffers for
the file. When using the SMSQ/E routines, this may give rise to writing
several sectors to the disk, one after the other, which is slow. My win
driver handles that a bit differently - there is no buffer to flush per se.

Have you tried converting to a *freshly formatted* (instead of "made empty")
win7 qxl-win file? It could well be that the win7 format is somehow corrupted.

It could depend on a couple of things I should imagine:

Hi,
Why is writing to WIN device so slow compared to writing to RAM and DOS
device?
Converting a 500KB DBF-file (dbase3/foxbase) DBS-file from dos1_
1) to RAM1_ less than 15 sec.
2) to DOS1_ less than 20 sec.
3) to WIN2_ more than 25 MINUTES
Why such a huge difference?

Potential of lurking errors in window definitions is immense and a full check

A very positive reply, Geoff, thanks.
When I mentioned the cost, BTW, I was thinking in terms of fearing a higher
cost event than this, hence why I might have sounded a little negative.
Certainly, costs of the order you mention could be OK, as long as it became
a well organised event.
