I simply join the string and cache it just before the operation. This would be slightly slower the first time, of course, but not for subsequent calls if the string has not changed. And that slight delay is still an acceptable tradeoff considering the other speed gains. As for the why the native strings are slower, I know what it¹s doing now. I¹m asking why it can¹t do it differently? __________________________________________________________________________ Kem Tekinay (212) 201-1465 MacTechnologies Consulting Fax (914) 242-7294 http://www.mactechnologies.com Pager (917) 491-5546 To join the MacTechnologies Consulting mailing list, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
