I work with Delphi professionally too, and I don't really notice allocation as time costs. It's negiable. Occasionally (in the six months magnitude) I run the app through fastmm, but that time is general cleanup, so even not entirely the cost of memory management. I can't find any basis for your allegations in my work. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
