I just knew I shouldn't have thrown this in. So many other things I could
have said. ;-) LOL. 

Eric was a big fan of custom properties and is the one who did the
comparison tests and was the one who emphatically said custom properties
were faster and insisted I use custom properties instead of globals whenever
I could.

I never questioned it. Would you question Eric on something he tested and
was insistent on? ;-) And, actually it kind of made sense to me in that vars
exist "outside" the stack memory space and, for example, when they are
passed, there is a "copy" made unless you use the by reference @pParam form,
where custom properties exist "inside" the stack memory space. But this is
"loose" thinking and I may be all wet on this. To be fair, we did use both.

But alas, he's not here to provide his tests and I have nothing to stand on
except his unwavering say-so and insistence. So, I stand to be corrected, if
someone knows for a fact that it is wrong.

Aloha from Hawaii,
