Its also the principle on which the ARM processor design is based. Make the processor more efficient by reducing the instructions to those used most often and get them to execute faster, do the things that don't happen that often in software even though its slower. There is an overall improvement in efficiency. Hence processors that do not need heat sinks and are very low cost to manufacture. I should think some similar consideration could be used to speed up OOo code quite a lot as well as reduce its size. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMS Ltd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
