I suspect it has to do with the fact that dates internally are stored as Double.
When I declare aStart, etc as Double instead of Variant, I can see that the value for aStart and ahEnd are both 41412.4479166667, indicating to me that you have an infinite long series of 6:es, and it is rounding it.
My guess is that this is why, some kind of rounding issue deep inside the Lotusscript compiler.
I ran the code, as well as one using the NotesDateTime class, and the latter took (as you said) 10 seconds vs teh less than 1 second for the arithmetic version. This was on 100,000 comparisons each.
Assuming that you are reading the values from somewhere, I am sure that that reading will take much longer, and those 10 seconds should be negligable in the big picture, compared with teh benefit of getting the code done "the right way", IMHO.
