There must be something wrong here. Getting or setting the htmlText
of a field with 4K in it should only take a few milliseconds. If
you're finding that it takes much longer than that, by all means email

You could always do that with the htmlText if you were moving the
entire contents of fields, but 2.3 also supports getting and setting
the htmlText of chunks of text within a field.
