Re: [SMARTY-DEV] more abstraction committed

The numbers can speak for themselves, the speed is definately faster for a non-accelerated invironment, and _still_ slightly faster for accelerated. So where these particular things you mention may be technically slower (albeit negligible) compared side by side, they are more than made up for in other areas as a consequence of the changes. Of course we won't do something that will cause performance penalties. And yes, these concerns were thought about when the changes were made, but the changes also BOOST performance, so it is a matter of what one outweighs the other to make the overall performance better.
