Sub-second for a function that gets called once or twice, yes. For a function that gets called thousands of times, no. Comments in the code are for readability, plus if you don't understand (and understand I mean it's functional design, not guessing from looking at the variable names :) the code you're about to try and optimise (whether it's your code or someone else's) how on earth are you going to optimise it ? > Only on the cpu challenged as400 does activity like this > have a justification. CPU challenged ? How many concurrent users can a Intel processor with any OS (Linux, Windows, BeOS) running at 266Mhz cope with ? As others have pointed out many times; it's making sure you're using the right work with the right tool. iSeries doing lots of DB work and servicing lots of users = right tool. iSeries doing heavy computational work (such as image processing) = wrong tool. --phil
