dBASE performance, 2.04 vs 3.1

[Mick Laver]

A local department has recently switched from a 3B2-310 to a 400,
and "upgraded" from SysV 2.04 to 3.1. The users complain that their
dBASE applications are running MUCH slower on the new machine. The
sar report indicates that the 400 is totally processor bound while
the dBASE apps are running. Disk access does not appear to be a factor.
Since the 310 and 400 are basically the same machine, the difference
seems to be the OS.

Has anyone had a similar problem with 3.1 and dBASE? 

Alternatively, has anyone tried FoxBASE to solve a similar problem?
