Hello Mr. Hyatt,

thank you very much for the explanation. I think I have to try. But may be you
can help me with your experience:

Is it worth to do all this tricks that blow up and slow down my code only to do
singular extension?
Is singular extension so powerful, that this helps me improving my engine?
Single response extension is more easy to implement and not so expensive. I
think single response you can call a weaker or more spezial form of singular
extension. How much better is singular extension compared to single response?

Any experience?

Thanks

Martin
