Need for Speed (postscript)

[Mark Smith]

Well, I'd imagine that it's more efficient to pass large chunks of  
data to other handlers by reference, but I don't see how that would  
apply to this example - even if you pass the additional line and the  
output data to a separate function, the new line still has to be  
added to the output data, however they were passed. Perhaps I'm  
missing the point, though?

Best,

Mark
