These are the thoughts that crossed my mind as well, I'll admit. Do we have any sort of measurements or at least the related theoretical backgrounds, such as "indirection will impose a small slowdown, but only at the very initial phase of execution till all the necessary symbols are resolved, no effect since then"? Is it in fact worse? The fact there was no serious discussion about the change is rather unsettling, IMHO. -- Jan (Poki)
