Jim, I don't know in what circumstances Eric was testing. However, I'm someone who's traditionally relied on customproperties instead of globals. But when profiling applications I found that storing/accessing large amounts of data that way _was_ slower than using globals.
I would still always opt for a customproperty initially (just because it means that the data can be associated with some object or some set of objects, and there is some form of data-hiding). However, if when profiling I needed a speed increase I'd then be prepared to move the data into globals where necessary. Maybe when it comes to small amounts of data (or even large amounts of data in simple data structures) customproperties are faster.
