Mark and Jim made some excellent recommendations on most of it, but the
progress bar is something that catches my attention. In one of my
products I found that the progress bar update was eating so many clock
cycles for the OS to draw its pretty rendering that cutting the
progresss down to 1/10 cut overall processing time for the handler as a
whole in half.
Hard to say if that's a factor here, but you could try changing this:
get setPercentDone(tCount, ttlLines)
put "Record " & tCount & " of " & ttlLines into field "progressText"
...to this:
if tCount mod 10 = 0 then
get setPercentDone(tCount, ttlLines)
put "Record " & tCount & " of " & ttlLines into field "progressText"
end if
...and see what happens. With a lot of records you may never see the
changes in between every tenth record anyway.
