ByRef arguments are 1/3 faster than Byval. If you do not explcitly declare arguments as Byval or Byref, VB will use ByRef as default. So if you never specify ByVal, there won't be any speed gain for you here. Except that you can specify ByRef explicit (see other VB Fibre article)

Note: In June 2002 someone ("speedy") pointed me on an error, which has been fixed in an new post in this cateogry.
What is wrong with this one? I forgot to prefix the parameters of the sub "Byval", which is required as well. Simply saying "Test2 Byval x" is wrong.

Code used:

Calling:
            '//Test one:
            TestOne ByVal 1000, ByVal "test", ByVal 30
            
            '//Test two:
            TestTwo 1000, "test", 30

Code:
Public Sub TestOne(lngValue1 As Long, strString1 As String, bByte1 As Byte)
    Dim I As Long
    I = I + 1
End Sub
