There's got to be a better way

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jonathan, Richard and Frank and...

I benchmarked 3 methods: using a hidden field in the current stack, a 
field in unopened substack and the clipboard.
Apple G4 bi pro - 3 MB internet connexion
I requested 100 times the same URL for each method and each method 5 
times in turn to minimize connexion hazards.

And the winner is...

1. Substack method: 1.000
2. Clipboard: 1.0354
3. Hidden field: 1.079

Best,
