Yeah, although we have 100K+ lines of TCL code with ns_shares. It wouldn't matter much whether nsv's were 100x faster - it isn't a worthwhile risk for examining and changing that many lines of code. On top of that, nsv is a broken programming paradigm IMO: source changes are required for every variable reference, which is a total PITA. I understand it was easier to implement shares this way; that doesn't mean it is necessarily better, esp considering the history of ns_shares and their use as true TCL variables. Jim
