Thanks for the info, Kuroi (and Glenn). I haven't been involved in coding enough recently to be thinking forward to optimization issues since losing all my brain cells during childbirth years ago! I'm just doing enough to get by, creating my own site right now, so I definitely appreciate all the help I can get!

As I mentioned earlier, this code is actually the vanilla 1.3.8a code, not in the code I changed, so if the performance gain is worthwhile you might want to throw this into the 1.4 bucket of upgrades if that eventual version doesn't completely overhaul this code. I might make the change in my own code since I've already got the vanilla code overridden for my changes, just because every little bit helps!

Thanks again for your support, Glenn and Kuroi!
