Tench, I think what eric means by polymorphic code is a code that has been written in object oriented approach. An object oriented code tries to be reusable. But this type of code is highly highly data dependent. Also, in OO programming, the trend is to write more very small granular functions that can be overriden by the inherited code. Any kind of optimization I believe can only be done on a function/procedure level. The functions/procedures (or in oo terminology methods/ messages) are very small, so there is not much room for optimization. In addition, the code may not know ahead of time what type of object it may be dealing with, resulting in calling entirely different of methods of they type of the object changes. I am not what the performance implications would be on different type of processors (Athlon/P3 vs. P4 vs. Itanium. VB and Java are not purely interpreted languages. They are a hybrid, with VB moving more to the compiled category. Joe
