Five hours and ten minutes of 99% CPU utilization to execute on the 749 character string. [Eek!] [Eek!] If I shorten my code by 15 characters, my score would be 231 but the execution time would be greatly extended. On a short string the 15 characters buys me a 300% improvement in performance. But on a long string the work content is much greater. I am not sure how long it would run. [Confused]
