FileMaker 10 is faster
So my interest was piqued when one or two FM developers I admire were commenting on how much faster FM 10 is. So I decided to run some unofficial tests on a 400mb database with multiple tables and some indexed and non-indexed fields.
Thus far, this is what I’ve found:
Simple sort:
- FM 9: 5 seconds
- FM 10: 3.6 seconds
Non-indexed find
- FM 9: 10 seconds
- FM 10: 7 seconds

Any ideas what the speed differences from 8.5 to 9 were if any?
Not off the top of my head. I did have an old FileMaker file that clocked processing on different machines. It may be worth digging up just to measure processes between different versions of FM.
