Re^2: Nested evals - are they evil?

in thread Nested evals - are they evil?

I'm leaving them for now, but since this is a daemon, I think (though have yet to benchmark) that removing the evals will speed things up a little. Or a lot. If a lot, removing them suddenly becomes essential.

I was just wondering right now if philosophically it was better to work towards removing them.

Hmmmm.

You think that block evals are a performance penalty? I've never heard that. Have you tested that theory at all?	[reply]

No, hence the words, "I think" and "have yet to benchmark" ;-) I guess my hunch was wrong on that count. I think it's just that I'm not 100% sure exactly how eval is dealt with that is troubling my psyche. Time for more background reading...	[reply]
