Most cases don't need prototype walking, but of course if inheritance is used then it must be enabled. The option is, in that library, togglable because a specific client suggested it as a performance optimization (they were using it in a high-load server environment). :) -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ -- v8-users mailing list v8-users@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users
