This might sound stupid, but I've found out that the best way to speed up something in code is often to not do it at all. Is there a specific reason that you need to make a copy of the array you're using? Wouldn't it be possible to handle (do whatever it is you're doing to the copy) the part you're interested in of the original array instead of making a copy and handling that? I understand that sometimes you really must do a copy (for example, when you wish to retain the original items in the array unchanged), but very often I see the copying (rather than doing the actions directly to the original done) only because it makes the code easier to write. And as Roberto suggested, Borland's usenet groups are propably the best way to find specific help on this problem.
