Hi Benoit,

the first optimization (_constraintColumns instead of constraintColumns) is fine. It avoids an uncessary slice().

I have a few questions regarding the second optimization ( passing an Array to avoid creation of an Array):
1)  you say the method is slow.  Is it faster with your optimization? Can you provider before/after timing
2) There are other places where the method is called without the second parameter (eg. parseConstraintValue above).  In this case, the second unused argument and the addtional tests may actually *slow down* the call.
3) there are three cases in the parseConstraintExp method: Number, null, and constraint string.  Which one are you using ?
4) Can you provide a test application that shows where your optimization is effective
