I am pretty sure that having too many classes in Set Classlib and too many Set Procedure will slow down the program. Often the slowdown is not big enough to waste any time on reducing it.

Using newobject() has no influence on the speed of the program, as far as I know, but you don't need the extra Set Classlib/Relese Classlib.

>>I used Set Procedure a lot earlier, but not anymore. I have only one procedure file active by Set Procedure To, if I need to add another one, I release it afterwards. I now always create separate prgs, or add the function to my functions.vcx.

>>I also avoid Set Classlib, instead I use NewObject() whenever possible. In Thor you will find a Dynamic Snippet called NO which I created roughly a year ago. When I need to use a class in a classlib, I only type "NO myclass" and press F5 which I have programmed to invoke the dynamic snippet. I then get a picklist of every class in my project where myclass is found, and end up with the working code.

>>>I'm working on an application that has many class libraries (VCXs) in the project. In the startup code, there is a SET CLASSLIB TO...ADDITIVE command for each and every VCX. The same goes for procedures; SET PROCEDURE TO ... ADDITIVE. Is there any drawback to doing it this way? I was wondering if there is any advantages of loading them on a "as needed" basis. Something along the lines of
>>>
>>>IF !"SOMECLASSLIB"$SET("Classlib")
>>> SET LIBRARY TO SOMECLASSLIB ADDITIVE
>>>ENDIF
