touché, tonyG :)
my problem is that i easily get carried away when faced with issues like this.
i just can't leave it until it's solved or a 'can't be done' is confirmed, especially where speed issues are concerned...
your test is really appreciated, handleFromObject approximately doubles processing time, but increasing the loops to a million, it takes only 83ms, which really is acceptable...i guess i can move on now :)
...but still, it would be nice to know if object varptr can be done or not :)
