That's one reason I've never gone with a commercial framework.

No.

m.MyVar = 3

is 3 times slower than

MyVar = 3

I've tested this in every version since 2.0 and the results are consistant. Some people argue that putting m. on the left-hand side makes it clear that it is a variable and will make sure that a variable is used instead of a field. This agruement doesn't hold water. You can't use a field on the left side of an equals.

>(I never use the M. prefix because I always have a scope letter on my variables that differentiate them from table fields.)
