I don't have time to go into this in depth but here are a few speed 
mods to help you. I will comment out your code and add mine. You test 
it, I'm too busy this morning, sorry...

      put field "Imported_Raw" into zap
      replace return with empty in zap
      -- this way you remove all line breaks fast, then:
      replace "<br>" with return in zap
      put return & return into zingo
      replace "<p>" with zingo in zap
      -- you are using html to be converted to either some other

      -- formatted text. You can tell Rev to attempt to render the 
existing
      -- zap variable into an off screen field and then begin working 
with
      -- the results of that.

      -- set the HTMLtext of field "offScreenDump" to zap

    -- I would try to do the above loop without the repeat loops if 
possible.
    -- hope this helps
