Hi Guys,

Thanks! And thanks again! You are really interested, and you don't trust 
something without testing! 

As Russian say: Доверяй, но проверяй. Trust, but verify. So you have been a lot 
to try my little test, and I've received a pack of mails like:

Dear Uncle JPR,
i don’t know what version you are using, but i have tested it with 4D v17 and 
R4 under Mac 64 bit and both lines have the same speed.
Maybe there are some missing information!?

If fact, you have highlighted the real problem, which is: In most of the cases, 
it doesn't make any measurable difference. But in some cases, it does impact a 
lot. I got a method which took 4.5 seconds to run, and I wondered why. So I 
spent 2 days to track the guilty line, and by changing  from

        $params:=New object("entity";$entity;"object";Form.xObject)
to                              
        $params:=New object("toto";Form.xObject;"entity";$entity)

the time went down to 300ms.

The context is a bit too complex to explain here, but I will show you, and 
explain it in detail, during the training. It belongs to the vast class of 
things which exist in every development environment, which are not explained in 
books, but which roots can be explained (and, I hope, understood).

My very best,

JPR
