As someone pointed out recently, assigning a string
to another string only copies 4 bytes, no matter how big the string is.
Only the memory location is copied unless the 2 references to the string go out
of scope, in which case the string is copied in it's entirety. The Copy
command, however, will copy each byte of the string to a new memory
location.

Not sure, but I get the feeling that writing a small test
including a timer and a loop will be the fastest answer ;)

Is it much slower to copy part of a string
"Copy(AStr, 2, Lenght(AStr))" than it is to copy an entire
string.
I am look at doing this sort of thing
reasonably often - for up to 1000 strings.
