in my above example i am taking 1 173k text file feeding it into an array, i then compare this BIG 173k array against 3 small arrays to populate a database.

Since the 3 smaller arrays are user defined they are not hard coded so i have to give up processing speed for flexibility...

also the larger array has a delimited data in each line that i have to split and make comparisons against data in the 3 smaller arrays.....

looks like the internal working at least when dealing with arrays has benefited greatly from 4.20

If i may ask, what are you doing in this 10min process??
