That doesn't mean that any of the code will be ripped out immediately. Although I wouldn't bet on it staying in for long. Really once it is removed, it would be easier to see ways of improving the code; so it is possible that it does cost CPU speed in ways we can't yet see.Thread Previous | Thread Next
