sorting/printing speed FMP9 vs. FMP6

Hi all,

do you have any experience concerning printing speed?

FMP7 and FMP8 where severely broken: PDFs where much bigger than
required. The bug was to include font definitions again and again,
causing file sizes with 100 times the size as required.

FMP6 was working pretty well, both fast and small.

I now gave FMP9 a try. The print size is ok. But the speed is
extremely slow - both for sorting records, as well as for printing.

Before I had about 2 hours for several hundred documents and several
thousand pages (from > 1 M records). FMP9 used 30 hours for this task!

I did not run any comparison yet, taking a single table approach for
..fp7 only. A dump from .fp7 to .txt takes several minutes. An im****t to
FP6 takes several minutes as well. An im****t to FP7/8/9 takes several
hours!?

I feel that a find is faster nowadays - but it does not help that much
while sort and print are that slow.
