Hi,
I'd like to know how the use of simple atomic types like integer and single differs from using variants holding the same types.
How do they compare in speed and memory consumption?
Has anyone done some benchmarking in this area?
TIA,
Marc

Variants are magnitudes slower.

Variants are magnitudes slower.
That says enough to stop thinking about variants.
Many thanks,
