Wow, REALGetPropValue is very slow.

[Ruslan Zasukhin]

Hi All,

I have play with one test example, and have found that if to use

    Vfield.Value        which is variant

Instead of using the types values of each clas
    Vshort.Value  Vlong.Value, ...

Then we get almost 100 times slower work.
100 times, exactly! 98 seconds vs about 1 second.


I have check by profiler, and see that problem is with REALGetPropValue().
It eats 98% of test.

REAL, I think here you must improve a lots something...
May be you use linear search to find property ?


ATTENTION:
    so for all Valentina users,
    I will recommend NOT to use Vfield.Value as Variant.

We could expect that variant will require some payment for comfort.
But 100 times slow down is not acceptable IMHO.
At least you should avoid it in tight loops.
