How to speed up checking for non-existence of objects in TestComplete?

I'm running into an issue where asserting that an object does NOT exist is taking an unexpectedly long time (~10 seconds) in my TestComplete tests. I've tried using both: if(!Aliases.restOftheCode....

I got round this problem by using the "WaitAliasChild" method.

(There is a optional waitTime as parameter)
Check the documentation : https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/members/common-for-all/waitaliaschild-method.html

  if(Aliases.yourAliasesName.WaitAliasChild("yourElement").Exists){
    doSomething();       
  }
