Great, so I will turn to this version and try my (memory consuming) test units for BSF4ooRexx with it, as it may be the case that the large memory optimization may allow them to run faster.

If there was something that I could really do, then please let me know. However, being on a few other opensource projects (the main one being BSF4ooRexx allowing ooRexx to use Java as if it was ooRexx and employing ooRexx as a scripting language) time resources are extremely scarce. [Also, for months I have been meaning to become active in the OpenJDK JavaFX project to improve the support for Java scripting languages, motivated by BSF4ooRexx. Due to an extremely steep learning curve - I would have to become able to learn the details of quite some powerful Java class sources and then to create the JavaFX modules after changing source code there - I have not been able to even start on that endeavor.] Having said that, if there are e.g. test units that should/need to be created then I would try to help out in that corner. If so, please advise. ---rony
