    Mike,
    
    This isnt very scientific, but a test report taking approx. 1 min
    with FOCUS/Rdb took approx 20 sec when run against a FOCUS database.
    To think in terms of 3 times as fast wont be far wrong. It is therefore
    quite important to balance the time taken to copy the database into
    a FOCUS structure, against the time taken to run reports before
    the next extraction. 
    
    The actual time required for a particular report is also important,
    as it may be perfectly acceptable to wait a few minutes for a report,
    but remember that this will be dependant on the number of users.
    
    
    Hope the above helps a little,
    
    
    Alan.
