Concatenation of dynamic structures is a slow function in the first place. I am not a core developer, but I consider that regardless how you do it, it will require a call to setlength, which in turn will call the operating system to allocate memory for the now larger structure. That takes much more time than a few assembly instructions for a normal pascal procedure call. -- Sent from: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
