Re: cards in a stack

I believe the performance hit is because Rev loads everything into ram. HyperCard didn't. In HyperCard you had to periodically compact the stack because of the fragmentation caused by the swapping to and from disk. Rev never needs to compact because a Save saves the entire stack again.
