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....

Hi! In my case, all wait methods (waitAlias, waitNNN etc...) doesn't have the behavior that I'm looking for.

So instead, I set the autowait timeout directly in my script code, then revert it to the default value I'm using.

for example :

Options.Run.Timeout = 50; //50ms

if(!myElement.Exists){
doSomething();
}

Options.Run.Timeout = 4000; //4s

So TestComplete look for the object only for 50ms (nearly instant).
