We have developed a small application which uses serial ports to connect to othr hardware. The code uses SPORT_CONNECT, SPORT_CANCEL_IO, SPORT_SET_STATE, SPORT_SET_TIMEOUTS, SPORT_WRITE_LINE, SPORT_READ_LINE and SPORT_RELEASE on COM1 and COM2. It runs much slower than desired, about 1/10th of the baud rates of 38.4k and 19.2k. Other apps on the same PC transfer data to the ports much faster. Any ideas?

How did you configure the port parameters? How do you measure your application's performance so that you know it is running slowly? What other applications are running faster?

This has now been fixed by upgrading from VF6.5 to VF6.5a. Performance now seems O.K. though I haven't yet mad precise measurements.
