There are PathUtils that execute on UTF8 in average (as long as most of text is ascii) better than unicode but there are not too much calls to it. I must agree - most of usage of PathName is related with database names and therefore expandDatabaseName() function which performs a lot of compare. But on the other hand it's usign hashes for table lookups which makes number of string comparisons not too big. Finally it seems to me that performance of PathName will not seriously affect overall performance but must say that I have no facts to proof that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
