he he, have been coding a lot for video apps that myself, totally agree.
performance is a sensible matter but in m y case it is a code generator, i do 
not need speed but code flexibility.

i do not use variant anymore, been writing my own data buffer derived from 
wxMemoryBuffer while implemention all kind of serialization.
Reading what u said, i may think using a more stl  direct approach.

funny, i started cleanly with stl constructs... but decided to move to 
wxWdigets for standardiztion purposes.... thought the impact was minimal.

i prefer speed...

so thanks for your suggestion :)
