Alright, I'll bet you a beer next time you're in Raleigh, NC.  :)

For... in loops seem to use blocks.  Anyway, in a quick test they seem to be
about 200 - 1000 times slower than an equivalent while loop.  A quick test
that runs through 1000 iterations 2000 times takes 0.3s with a while loop,
and 9.0s with a for loop on my system.

Try a while loop...
