Hi Mark,

>Of course, this doesn't say anything about code that uses ASSERTs, just that the ASSERT command itself takes time, even without ASSERTs ON. That's an important finding, but it shouldn't affect our coding practices (and I'm sure you agree).

It should certainly not reduce the use of ASSERTS in your Debug version. It could only mean that in cases where the make things really slow (could only be in a loop), you might want to surround them by #IF....#ENDIF and remove them this way from the production EXE.
