1. 2.4 speed
More testing an a completely different program than the one I referred
to in my last post (no wacky math this time), but one which creates and
destroys lots of small to medium size sequences shows 2.4 being 5% or so
slower than 2.3. 2.4 is also using 2MB less memory (according to my
toolbar) than the same program on 2.3, so once I again I assume this has
something to do with memory management/garabage collection...

One of my programs which has a long initialization time starts up
twice as fast under ex.exe 2.4 :)> but another, which parses EU source and
builds a database (in memory), took 53 seconds with 2.4 but only 22 seconds
with 2.3 doing that function. :(> I did the two tests in separate dos
boxes several times in succession to try to minimize disk cache effects.
Does ex.exe also use these Win API memory routines when running in
a dos box?
