The reason I suggested to use N_() instead of _() in LyXRC::getDescription
is that each _() generates a function call which takes, for example, 8bytes
and since you have 69 'str =' lines, this amounts to 552 bytes.
If you use N_() instead of _() in LyXRC::getDescription, and put _() later
(for example, you can put 'return _(str)' at the end of LyXRC::getDescription)
then you only pay 8 bytes.
However this is not very important, so you can use _() if you wish.
With xcol.name, you don't gain anything by using N_(), so only _() should be
used.
