Dear all!
I try to create geometry as described in
http://root.cern.ch/root/roottalk/roottalk97/1058.html
The macro:
// File b.C
void b(UInt_t N)
{
if( N==0 ) N=1;
gROOT->Reset();
g1 = new TGeometry ("Tempory","Tempory geometry");
new TBRIK("MAIN","This is main frame","void",10,10,10);
main_node = new TNode("MAINnode","This is main node","MAIN");
main_node->BuildListOfNodes();
main_node->cd();
new TBRIK("A","A","void",1,1,1);
Anode = new TNode("Anode","Anode","A");
TStopwatch timer;
timer.Start();
for( int i=0; i<N; i++ )
{
TNode *node = (TNode*) Anode->Clone();
if( NULL==node )
{
printf("Can not create node.\n");
exit(1);
}
main_node->GetListOfNodes()->Add(node);
//node->SetName("");
//node->SetPosition(0,0,0);
}
timer.Stop();
printf("N=%d rate = %g seconds per node\n",N,timer.CpuTime()/N);
return;
}

Type ? for help. Commands must be C++ statements.
Enclose multiple statements between { }.

The call time of TNode::Clone() strongly depends on number of
TNode::GetListOfNodes()->Add() calls. It is almost impossible to have hundreds
of TNodes with the aid of TNode::GetListOfNodes()->Add() function!
Did I something wrong?
