It's called an acceptable compromise, by those that use it most. Just like FPC doesn't do micro code optimizations on each and every platform. The FPC performance [see Martin Schriebers annual posts about FPC speed vs Delphi 7] hit is a compromise for easier maintainability of source code. A simple trade-off. The Maths unit is known for more advanced math and statistical features. A strong random number generator seem a good fit for that unit. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
