How much memory do you have on that platform ? How much more memory is going to be used by the implementation ? It may not be the case in this particular instance but I find it funny when people complain about something that will use a few hundred more bytes, maybe one or two k more, on machines that have hundreds of MB of RAM at the expense of code flexibility, reusability and maintainability :-) Cheers, Ben.
