sorry, but don't understand exactly what this means exactly.

I understand that if I write a procedure of this kind:

procedure processmyobject(myobject: tmyobject);

procedure processmyobject(myclass: tmyclass);

I have myobject on the stack, instead myclass is passed by reference, 
but don't see the advantage...
