Hi tye, first of all: I just like these kinds of threads. Really. You see several approaches, the monks participating start to get little boys (me too) presenting the hopefully fastest approach. Many approaches are sources for new ideas or point of views. Some approaches are just beautiful (a personal taste of source code beautiness). There have been many discussions about whether microbenchmarks are meaningful. Yes, of cource. The context of the original question is missing to judge whether an optimization in this field matters or not. But we learned also: Don't trust a statistics which you haven't forged yourself. ;) I learned that a short time of studying before starting to work (even when this kind of studying is just making nothing) can result in an extraordinary performance boost (by just doing something different and letting people believe you did what they want). These are the lessons of and for life... :)) Last but not least: As you said by yourself, the original post made you laugh. That's not the worst, is it? Regards
