Which has nothing to do with the issue. I didn't say to not use OO
techniques. I said to implement the object methods using MI calls rather
than CPU brute force. I only suggested that because you indicated that
this new "modern" approach was less efficient than the old approach.

What? Are you saying that OOP methods are dependent on being implemented
in some form? Isn't that exactly the opposite of OOP theory? So if I
went through the standard libraries and replaced string object methods
with methods that used the MI calls, then C++ wouldn't work any more?
