Please ignore all my previous comments on this topic. I just now paid  
attention to the test script. The "limit expression" is in an inner  
repeat loop which is within a loop that repeats 1000 times. So  
naturally, the expression is evaluated 1000 times. In the other  
method it is calculated before both loops.

Time for more coffee.
