I guess I didn't make that point forcefully enough.

I'd like to put this "performance hit" thing to rest. I respect your 
knowledge and expertise -- I always seem to learn something new (to me) 
from your posts.

How would you "quantify" the "hit?" On my recently retired dev box (1.6GHz 
Celeron), I could execute 100 AGIs per second but that doesn't really 
answer the question.

Oh great -- another scripting language to learn :)

Thanks in advance,
