Since we are unable to search for strings with less than 3 characters could someone give me some references or information on the advantages/disadvantages in using m. with variable names as opposed to not using it? I think I've heard discussions regarding performance, but couldn't locate any. Our manager wants to elimiate all notation on variables - and in some ways I agree with regards to readability - but he would like to remove the m. convention as well. We believe that there may be issues related to this and it's been put upon me to find out what the deal is.

UPDATE: I have no idea why I wasn't given a notice that there was a problem with the title of this thread - it just truncated it instead of asking me to fix it - but it should have read along the lines of PERFORMANE USING M DOT. Could someone from UT please fix this?
