Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed, and agreed, but they don't take my word
for it. I need a way to prove it. :o/

That one I'm not so sure about. Many times the object has MUCH more
overhead that a custom-code solution, and the package-space lookups add
a lot, too. Machine time isn't really an issue here, tho; programmer
time is more valuable, and I *know* object code maximizes that....

I just can't get them to look past "that arrow stuff". ~sigh~
(And these are intelligent, competent programmers, too. 
 How can they not see that sometimes a learning curve is a 
 worthwhile investment?)
