What's that stuff exactly?
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?
Have you ever looked at my wrappers? You're generalising!
I'm waiting for you to release a big better SDK with a perfect wrapper for natives and callbacks. That would help at least me a lot.
