Does this result mean that you're working on the reference issue and we can expect dramatic speed improvements in future versions?It has to do with how objects are implemented, and the way the reference counting mechanism works. Simply put - (1) objects will always be references, and other data types will usually not be references (2) Passing references by reference is quicker than not, passing non-reference by reference is slower than not I don't understand why this is the case. If you have a huge array and pass it by value you need to copy the hole array.
