I saw some benchmarks and newobject() was slower by quit a bit.
But as vfp is nota language to be used with throwaway classes and objects like dotnet and java,
that difference should still be minimal - as long as forms are still read as complete vcx and not built in code.

But if objects are created in a tight loop, I'd stay away from newobject().
