Ali (and Mark)
I was just answering the question asked :-)
Heh.
What I usually do (and what we generally do in the IDE) is get a target
object's long ID, put it in a variable and use that for subsequent
references. That way you only pay the (again, very small) performance
penalty once per usage. Obviously YMMV, I would never blanket-recommend ANY
optimisation strategy as these things are almost always specific to the use
case.
Yes. Point taken. And, of course, I do the same.
My objection is to a blanket strategy to refer to object by numeric id.
No problems at all with storing an object's id or long id into a
variable and then using that variable for whatever fiendish scheme a
developer may come up with.
