Most of my performance evaluations were made with more complex 
constraint sets, and as I said, I did not put much emphasis on 
optimization. The findings of others give me confidence that it is 
possible to get an adequate real-time response. Most applications have a 
relatively simple layout, and most of the work can be done during 
program initialization. Additional testing would be required to find out 
more.

Leaving aside performance considerations, I look at it more from a GUI 
developer's point of view: IMO it seems as if complex layouts can be 
specified in a relatively concise way. This is what intrigues me.

Btw my last mail has a typo: the grid in the example has 2 columns and 
_3_ rows.

Cheers
