I don't know what the task was that the script was performing since it 
was omitted from the reply, but offhand 167 secs sounds like a long time 
to process only 30k lines of text.  I've found Rev can run some fairly 
complex comparisons at the rate of about 60k lines per second on a slow 
machine (1GHz Mac).
