properties vs local variable

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Terry,

The split command itself doesn't slow it down, because that happens 
outside the repeat loop. However, arrays appear not to be the fastest 
way to access data and apparently in this case the removal of the 
counter was not enough to compensate for the addition of the arrays.

I see no thText in your original script. Perhaps you need to post more 
code, including the part that retrieves the data from the database all 
the way up to and including the part where it displays the data.
