Then you already have to Insert into two lists which makes it once more slower. That is why the ICS TSslAvlSessionCache uses two linked AVL trees, one has an index on the key and the second on a time stamp, time stamp duplicates are handled in a list. A sorted list is faster only when data isn't added frequently. > > One OT question: Would it be faster if we use the cat() method of > AnsiString instead of the + operand?
