In modern machines with gighz machines and such it
really isn't that much unless your doing a data hog
like a Database program. But a rule of thumb basically
anything is better with pointers. The main benefit is
data storage of course but speed helps.
So it depends on how many records you might be dealing with.
A few hundred who cares. A million then yeah use pointers. :)
