Revolution speed sucks?

And it may be that one or both are flawed.

You have asked for advice and in my opinion you got lots of good advice 
on how to speed up your scripts.  It takes some work to do that and 
folks have provided lots of help to minimize that work for you.

Folks here know I'm willing to point out Revolution faults as needed, 
yet I find the subject line offensive and some of your comments 
provocative.  I would like to be helpful, yet this causes me to be less 
so.  This is not effective; at least not for me.  I'm not going to take 
offense and go and rewrite your Revolution code for you.  For the most 
part folks here tend to be easy-going and--fortunately for me--very 
patient.  I like the style and try to fit in with that.  Where I seem 
abrasive, it is mostly because I'm socially inept, I think.  I confess 
that your approach makes we wonder whether your perl code was written 
by some other list.

So, Andy, folks really want to help.  I think it grand that they have 
even with an offensive subject line.  I recommend you return the good 
will.

My coffee cup is empty, so lets get back to work.
