True on both counts, but for large data sets it's likely to be 
slower... this is because of the line "if tEntry is in tDestinyData", 
which is going to cause the engine to start at the top and search 
through the entire data set before it concludes whether it found a 
match or not.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. ;-)
