I think, that 20-25% are a real problem. Did you try profiling? I haven't tried it yet, but a quick google showed up http://www.eclipse.org/hyades/ which looks like a cool "much more than profiling" framework for Eclipse. >I'm really not sure why.

Personally, I'd rather drop the decimal patch than getting a 25% performance penalty for something that is not really needed in the templating language. BTW: Wasn't there talk about getting a global switch to turn "the decimal patch" off? What is the impact if the patch is merged but turned off? Regards Henning -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.
