I don't understand. A script-only stack contain no objects, so even

Like a Zen koan: how can there be a binary object where there is no

Hmmm - we're probably heading off into the weeds here ....
The script-only stack is used as a behaviour for controls within another
stack - so it can copt hose controls without them bieng binary objects
within the scrip-only stack.
OR
The script-only stack creates a set of objects the first time it is used
(creating the template group).
Subsequent uses of the script (in the same context) will (at most) copy
that template group - so yes they are being created - but with minimal
work because it's doing a copy rather than "create and then set lots of
properties".
So not quite as much saving in the second case - but still less work
than creating and setting lots of properties for the controls.
