RE:using createFActionForEachHeterogeneous$call rather than createFActionEachHomogeneous

[William T. Stockhausen]

Paul,

Great point regarding the speed issue. I noticed that using the
createFActionForEachHeterogeneous REALLY slowed things down from using the
createFActionEachHomogeneous--I typically had ~10,000 larval "agents" in the
plankton.  When I get back to working on that model, I may see if your
approach would work for me.

Best regards,

Buck

If the speed at which the model executes ever becomes a concern, please
consider the first message I sent today as a way of speeding things up.
  In some tests last year, the speedup was several fold.
