sorry, i wasn't really clear. i'm aware the tagging bit was slow, i couldn't be bothered to tag it object modelwise.
i'm referring only to the value retrieval of the parameter. not the setup time. again: # INFO : 0.788785183814 seconds <--- accessing 3618 parameters's values by tag # INFO : 2.12563553863 seconds <--- accesssing 3618 parameters's values by GetPropertyFromName2(propertyname).Parameters(paramname) # INFO : 7.84713397563 <---- accessing 3618 parameter's values by Property(propertyname).Parameters(paramname) tagging is by far the fastest, but in imo, is unacceptably slow. compare that to a method such as IsSelected(), getting a report on a large number of objects is negligible.
