[Gjermund Gusland Thorsen]

The lower the amount of fields on the layout used for record creation,
especially on the child records, the faster the FMNew()

> This is the current looping process:
> 1. Create new parent record. (Company)
> 2. Find records from the category table (Category) (1064 found)
> 2a. For each found Category, create a record in Company_Category with CompID
> and CatID.

> There are a few other methods I have tried with marginal improvement.
> 1. Perform the record creation in FileMaker with a looping script called
> from PHP.
> 2. Perform the record creation in FileMaker using exports and imports called
> from PHP.
> 3. Created a duplicate FM Layout with just two fields for FX to create the
> Company_Category records.

>  I have looked at the FileMaker record counter diring tests and the slowness

> Any ideas on creating records faster?
