A global variable can be allocated in the datasegment, meaning that the compiler knows at comiletime what address to look for. If you allocate things dynamically then you need to follow an extra pointer, so placing an array in the datasegment would indeed speed up things afaik ? If not, more than a blunt 'no' would be appreciated, With kind regards, -- http://werner.yellowcouch.org/
