Hi,
is it possible to make some general statements
concerning the alternative variant vs. tagged
type with respect to runtime performance?
For example:
if we have an array A 1) of type access to a variant
2) of type access <TYPE>'Class
what can be said about the runtime performance
of the expression
A(I).<component>?
Thanks in Advance,
Frank
