Yes, indexing is known to be slow, although I don't recall the precise reason for that. Something to do with way integers are handled or some such. There was some discussion on the list many years ago...
It could be useful if someone spent time on profiling the call overhead for integer indexing. From what I remember from that part of the code, I'm fairly sure it can be optimized.
I was thinking the same. Profiling the code could be very useful. Chuck
