What's faster:
        Eval(H)...  MyField * 1
or
        Eval(H)...  MyField + 0



Are you looking for a really fast way to do nothing?

The half-adjust is the same for both operations. So your question is:"What's faster? Multiplying by 1 and making no difference to my value --or adding 0, and making no difference to my value"

If you're concerned with efficiency, why do operations that don'taccomplish anything?
