I distinctly recall @Jermolene singling heavy use of templates as a thing that could slow things down so I my interpretation is that they are more critical in this regard than many other things. So, I'm trying to understand what specifically about them that cause this. <:-) On Thursday, May 20, 2021 at 1:48:46 AM UTC+2 TW Tones wrote: > Mat, > > As is often the case I think it depends on how you implement it.
