ah yes, that makes sense. since I only use the structures in the gop, I  
never cared about searching it better.

I don't speak C, so can't really say anything. but I would say, you can't.  
and anyway, doesn't matter which object it is, it gets the same treatment

I don't have any hard data to back this up, but I think not, only  
displayed elements count to cpu (maybe hidden ones count a bit?). my only  
way to be sure would be to make a stress test. but maybe someone else can  
say more about tcl/tk.
