Thank you Cole, Irv and Luke. Cole, you were right. There are some tangible speed-ups when going to "old school" over "dot". I'm converting my entire DOM implemenation, because it's definitely worth the effort.
Irv, those were some terrific suggestions. I'll put the delimiter string length into a local var and work with that. I had already tried the list variation on the set of delimiters, but didn't see any substantial gains there. Now, using the itemDelimiter to "chunk" the tokens out is an idea that I think has some potential. I'd just have to figure out how to successfully make it recursive for all the delimiters, while maintaining the proper order in the resultant token list. I'll look into that. Luke, thanks for the new approach. I hadn't considered getOne as an alternative to looping through the delimiters. That's what I call "comin' in through the side door". Results later....
