What reallocating memory do you mean?
s1:=IntToStr(Paramcount+12345);
s2:=IntToStr(Paramcount+23456);
for i:=1 to 500000000 do begin
s:=s1;
s:=s2;
end;
I only change reference counters, don't I?

That was in the very first post of this thread:
Under my Linux machine the above program takes about 7.5 seconds.
Uncomment the cthreads unit: 7.5 seconds
Under OS X the above program takes on my mac book about 15 seconds.
Uncomment the cthreads unit: 21 seconds
