Greetings,
I tried an experiment and the results are not what I expected.  I'd like to
know if my results are an anomaly or should be expected.

I have a procedure that examines each object (about 200) in a table for
intersection with a given object.  I tried this two ways:

1)  Individual objects in the table are left as individual objects.

2) The objects are combined into one large object (and the table now has
only one row).

I expected the intersection detection routine to work faster in situation
number 2, where there is only one object.  In my trials, there is a slight
improvement, but not much.  Situation 1 actually is faster in some (few)
cases.  Any thoughts on this and the inner workings of the "Obj1 Intersects
Obj2" function?  I'm thinking that 200 objects in a table might not be
enough to produce a significant difference, but that if there were, say, 
2000 or more objects I might see a difference.

Thanks,
Steve
