Hi Steffen,

I have seen the comment. That's why I underlined it's a quick approach.

Roberts example does just enough to enable you to create a cObj, without
setting up the full environment. 

Often you only want to use some tools from cObj, i.e. the typolink function
from within the BE. Unit testing is another example. Best if it doesn't
depend on the environment, because a changing environment, does not give
stable test conditions.

In such cases you can avoid to set up the full environment. Guess it makes
some difference in speed.
