Tomasz -

Thanks.  I figured that it was probably a consideration in the original AA / QuickAFL implementation, and on a list.  Just making sure.  I've worked around it when needed.  

I'm finding that it is one of several things that need consideration, or need different AFL programming techniques when using RT histories of 200K+ bars and trying to maximize performance.
