True enough....
But, perhaps I'm misunderstanding something (not yet having looked into
refs - hey, it's the weekend) but this is my understanding of them
based on these email exchanges.
Say I have a global variable named "foo".
If I'm accessing it a lot (from C++ that is) by name, doesn't every
access go thru a string compare look up in the global table? And isnt
it the case that if I make a reference to that variable and use that
for my access, there will no longer be a string compare?
Is there still a ref look up? Or is it a direct value (such as a ptr
or index, etc)?
thx,
ando

I'm not sure that it is that much more efficient. Like Roberto said,
you
need performance measurements to establish that.
