Re: Importing MFC resources

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Strings are stored 16 strings to a block, so the way a block is computed
is to take the
index / 16, then find elements in the block based on the index % 16.
Exactly.
Which means that in fact you spend less than 16 bits per string.
Imagine having a string Id for each string.

This might not be relevant these days, but at the time when it was
designed was important.

The speed/size limitations are not that important now, but I
still don't see any major advantage with using a string ID.
