When does a Stack Actually Die in the IDE???

[Marielle Lange]

What about these other options?

function ObjStack2 pObj
  put the long id of pObj into tObj
  return char 2 to -2 of word -1 of tObj
end ObjStack2
5.65% faster  than ObjStack according to 4W RevBench (50,000  
repetitions)

Or

function ObjStack3 pObj
  put the long id of pObj into tObj
  replace " of stack " with tab in tObj
  set the itemdel to tab
  return char 2 to -2 of item -1 of tObj
end ObjStack3

1.81% faster than ObjStack according to 4W RevBench  (50,000  
repetitions)

Sounds like an opportunity for the gang here to come up with a  
fast way to parse the stack name.

Here's a starting point, which clocks in at 0.1349ms on a 1GHz G4:
 function ObjStack pObj
  put the long id of pObj into tObj
  get offset(" of stack "&quote, tObj)
  delete char 1 to (it+10) of tObj
  get offset(quote,tObj)
  return char 1 to (it-1) of tObj end ObjStack
