I haven't benchmarked it, but I don't see a reason for exceptions to be significantly slower than GOTO, assuming the exception is caught in the same scope as it was thrown. Since GOTO wouldn't/mustn't work in any other case anyway, I don't think performance is an issue at all. You still might be right thanks to this human feature called 'perception' :) Zeev
