The main reason is Collections.Defaults. I'm definitely not a fan of the manual interface building it does, because I don't want to have to maintain that, just in case we change some implementation detail in FPC that this unit happens to rely on, maybe even only in a subtle way. No performance gain is worth this potential maintenance nightmare. And until I had the time to thoroughly check the implications that this unit has I won't add the code to the RTL (just in case: rtl-objpas or rtl-extra, not the bootstrapping RTL). Regards, Sven
