OK. If I stop being flippant about this, I think you'd have to compare 
the benchmarks for earlier LC8 builds with the dp11 benchmarks to see 
the real improvement in speeds. There were some operations that were 
painfully slow and are now zippy. I'm dismayed that more attention 
hasn't yet been paid to improving the file operations, but the speed of 
string operations has benefited greatly from recent optimization.
