RE: SP3 Floating Point Errors - Slow Down ?

Hans - I am worried this additional "checking" has slowed down the product
for both realtime and backtesting.
Can you comment on that ?

Wish you guys would have designed for a powerEditor checkbox option as
follows:

PLEASE INDICATE YOUR EasyLanguage RUNTIME PREFERENCE:

[X] Reduced Error Checking (runs fast)
[ ] Extensive checking and divide-by-zero trapping (runs slower)

Omega must understand there are both sides to the coin.......also different
needs by the technical community versus the user community.
Favoring one may affect the other.... ADVERSELY.
