lets please just end this with a simple word:
   performance
this thread has been repeated over and over again
i'd suggest reading the archives rather than
repeating it again.

florian has already suggested a possible solution,
i've suggested a very slow but 2 line solution,
and now its just degraded into the 'possibility'
to fix the hammer when the nail has disappeared
several messages back.

i agree for what its worth, its confusing at
first, but its *right* from a performance aspect
and *not wrong* in forcing you to rethink design.
