the classes unit had been changed to use them. After a horrible

Ah! So that is where those ifdefs in classes come from :) I always

Is the drop still present/essential? Perhaps optimizer is now good

No.
You never can replace a direct pointer assignment a:=B with a call to Move()
and expect the same speed.
