Thanks! I appreciate that this is fiddly stuff (if it wasn't, I'd be doing my own build!) so I'm grateful for you taking the time to look at it. > Bear in mind that there are still some regressions.

I'm just playing with a problem a friend suggested to me[1], which is highly CPU intensive. I'm trying various languages I know, to see how they compare in readability vs performance terms. So the new optimisations could be very useful (and if I hit regressions, I'll let you know :-)) Paul. [1] Simulate dealing and scoring a cribbage hand, many millions of times. Gather stats on the distributions of the results. Bonus points for making the hand generation and scoring procedures easy for the user to fiddle with (that bit seriously hurts languages with high function call overheads!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
