Hi,

I made a little test (prog included) making a Bare WebHub App using the wizard. And the help file is right so I got the excepted result :) Macros are checked for as number 5 while webactions is checked for as number 9. The difference isn't really big. I made a macro and a webaction and executed it 100 times in one page. Macros averaged used a little bit lower than 40 ms, while webactions used 70++ ms.

I did another test after writting the text above and then webactions appx used only 10 ms more. And I still used 100. It is possible that something went wrong, because I did another test where I increased from 100 to 1000 and there macro used appx. 60-70 ms while webactions used 200+

Conclusen: It is no need to worry about speed when only using it a few times on the page.

I attached the test app with this mail.

With kind regards
