5 to 40 times slower?
arent these these ints used to index a table of pointers?,
does it really make that much difference? we are all oopy
here anyway..
again..im not in the know, so perhaps im totally mistaken,
but i wouldnt have thought that grabbing a pointer from
a table/array would be that expensive..
it may be that bmax allocates small pages for index/pointer
arrays - and the number is broken into page/index..
this would make memory management perhaps a little
less heavy, and the cost of dereferencing wouldnt be
too high...heh..ok ill shut up ;)
