Cool! I'm going to hazard a guess as to why. The clipboard access is done using registered native functions. In 3.2.0, the table of registered functions is held by the rxapi process, and every time you make a call to a registered routine, there's an interprocess call involved to retrieve the entry point name, and the entry point is dynamically resolved EACH time the call is made. In 4.0.0 (I feel safe using that now that David's changed the version number <g>), new packages are only loaded in the local process and there are no resolution calls needed to resolve the entry points. I suspect this starting showing up now because the calls to native functions are now significantly faster than the previous release.
Btw, even with "old-style" function packages, the interpreter stashes the entry point information after the first call, so even those calls will end up being faster.
