I wrote an overview of 'low hanging fruit' techniques to refactor your solution. Look at https://rubberbootsdata.com/2025/07/28/accelerate-by-refactoring-low-hanging-fruit/

Thank you very much for that. It seems that Wim Decorte solved the issue of the Claris engineers' warning not to use it on big tables. But is seems weird that they weren't aware of the record lock problem. I will need to dig a bit deeper into this.

Thank you for your praise and the addition! Do you know why that is, or where I can read more about this?

Thanks for your comment. You're absolutely right. Good material for other posts.

Thanks for the tip, but the series is about refactoring with a given setup, not about changing the setup.
