Chris,

Good stuff!
Only one question for you: for your app, do you distribute the target 
texts, or are they supplied by the user, and are they reused?

What I'm getting at- the one last optimization tweak you could make 
would be to "combine" the generated array and write it out as an index 
for the text. Then the next time running the application, you could 
just load the index instead of re-generating it.

Of course, it looks like it's pretty speedy as-is, although you have a 
pretty hefty machine running it =).
