RE: Load all subfile

The caveat here of course is the data must be static.  If it changes
frequently during the day like, say, inventory information might, then the
load all technique would incur a significant performance penalty since it
must be constantly refreshed.

My experience is that load-all is very fast and has the beauty of being a
one-time deal.  After that, response time is zero.  If the subfile  could be
13,000 records, and the user used this file all day long, waiting 1 or 2
minutes extra in the morning for it to load would be a small penalty to pay
to gain instant response dozens and dozens of times all day long.
