For example when you call SendClientMessage from your plugin:
First you need to locate it's address which only has to be done once so thats not much of a problem.
Next is allocating an array of cells in the AMX for the text string you want to send.
Then you need to convert and copy your string from a char array to that array of cells.
All that before you can call it.

Now if we would separate the AMX the prototype for SendClientMessage would probably look like this:

Код:

int SendClientMessage(int playerid, int colour, char* text);
int SendClientMessage(int playerid, int colour, wchar_t* text);   //Support non latin languages?

With that you could just pass a pointer to your string, no copying or whatever required.

Calling functions that pass arguments by reference also require you to allocate space in the AMX.
Think of GetPlayerPos used for a speedometer, how many times does that get called for each player per second? See how it's adding up now?
