Now THAT'S the kind of news that makes a Friday special! Honestly I was 
quite disappointed lately in 9's array speed, but this gives me a lot of 
hope, and it also helps in the practical details of code planning for 
projects. Thank you Mark.

Arrays are not the only issue, but it's a great start and one of the 
areas I was going to advocate. Even repeats with math calculations are 
also a problem in 9, for example. But I have full confidence, as I said 
on this list recently, that 9+ should be able to beat 6 in most areas 
when optimized. I will test your build and post my test stack and 
results here as soon as I get a chance.

Best wishes,
