slow FP on windows

I have only one client still using FP for dos/windows.  They have a win 
2000 server.
I don't do a lot of work for this client, but I have noticed extremely 
slow performance when posting to any file.

PFDSK is set to the shared drive of F:.  Filepro resided in F:\fp and 
filepro files in F:\filepro.

Is there some other environment variable I should set.  This thing takes 
5 mins. to post 379 records. 
The processing table is only opening one file and creating a new record 
for each source record.
I did not write the code, but I can see no reason this should take so 
long.  In SCO or RH, it would be a 30 sec - 1 min. process.

Any suggestions?
