Whether this consitutes a major overhead depends on what your specific implementation is doing. I am pretty sure that this additional copy would not seriously affect the speed of the scotty code or the scli code. (The number of memory allocations being done at later stages alone in both packages is most likely much more costly than the OID copying.) /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder <http://www.informatik.uni-osnabrueck.de/schoenw/>
