I just did some tests, and you are right. It starts off much faster (8 to 10X), though with very
large amounts of text (5000 lines of 500 characters per line), it dropped down to less than twice as
fast.
Thanks for the tip,

Nope.
It's an old-time director trick. With large chunks of text, the "delete
the first line" trick is _massively_ faster, because director doesn't
have to parse the text for an index point to the line that you want.
