      Oh, right! I forgot about that. :)  Yeah, should be quite a bit
faster, I'm just answering String objects that are sitting in memory.
The measurements will be interesting.

      But again, I take it from your comment that you're actually
finding the speed of the traditional setup to be a problem? If so, then
yeah, it'd make a good marketing point.
