Hi,
I'm not sure but I think that CPU caches (L1, L2...) have some impact
on this example. Also I think PChar assignation should use string
copy instead (Strings.strcopy). Not time to do my own tests right now
though u_u) .

Here is my test unit I'm playing with. It's crude but can anyone suggest what
other things I could test?
I'm playing with a string pointer also to see how ref counting/finalization
plays in. Making your own managed typed using management operators is not
tested but I'm sure it will be terrible

I've been exploring the string types and I'm curious now, does the classic
Pascal "ShortString" even make sense anymore on modern computers? I'm running
tests and I can't seem to find a way in which AnsiString overall performs worse
than ShortString.
Are there any examples where AnsiString is
