OK, thanks for the info.
The % substitutions (which I borrowed from Tk) turned out to be a bad
idea. Despite the problem you describe above, % substitutions lead to
inefficient code since callback will be recompiled everytime and there
is a non-trivial risk to introduce bugs by having substitutions in
strings like "%V" (suppose %V contains valid Tcl code).
Hadn't thought of that. I certainly don't notice any slowness despite having
about 3000 callbacks in each run but it's probably swamped by network and
database delays.
Thanks again,
Eddie
