Re: Fast appending and sorting of alot of short strings

I've decided to remove collections from Win4Eu. I implemented collections
in the first place, because I thought that it's better to append multiple
elements at once than to append element per element.
But I just did a little test, and it appears that my collection-code is
a lot slower than the default appending 1 element to a sequence.

Here's the test-code:

sequence s1, s2
atom t1, t2

s1 = newCollection()
t1 = time()
for i=1 to 100000 do
	s1 = addToCollection(s1, i)
end for
t1 = time() - t1

s2 = {}
t2 = time()
for i=1 to 100000 do
	s2 &= i
end for
t2 = time() - t2

? {t1, t2}
