Update of /cvsroot/monetdb/MonetDB5/src/mal In directory sc8-pr-cvs16:/tmp/cvs-serv372

Modified Files: mal_interpreter.mx Log Message: Set trivially settable properties. This is done in a central place so that as little code as possible needs to be changed, and the effect is a big as possible.

This change greatly increases the need to push for 'private BATs as default', because every call to BATdescriptor initiates expensive locking. At this level in the interpreter it doubles the overhead of accessing the BATs! Otherwise, this change have to be moved to the individual operations with, of course, the increased maintenance.
