I was curious, if you had a Pascal (short) string and it was going to be passed 
around often would that be slower than using an AnsiString since its size is 
that of a pointer? I always prefer short strings when I know the length will be 
less than 255 but can copying that value between function calls add up to be 
more than the cost of allocating and reference counting the AnsiString?
