Passing an extra argument adds a small overhead in many places. Accessing a named reference adds a larger overhead in fewer places.

Named references and non-logical variables are not interchangeable except in special circumstances (see User Manual section on global references). For non-logical variables the speed depends on the size of the term that is being set/gotten, which means that they are slower when that term is not atomic. -- Joachim Schimpf / phone: +44 20 7594 8187 IC-Parc / mailto:J.Schimpf@imperial.ac.uk Imperial College London / http://www.icparc.ic.ac.uk/eclipseReceived on Wed Mar 02 14:22:24 2005
