Actually this code still does look for the latest version of the file -
that's what the "true" parameter means. Set it to false and you'll get
even more speed.
Also, the performance characteristics of these functions changed between
3.0, 3.1 and 3.2, so do try things out on each rom version to measure
accurately. The Palm OS Emulator can provide good empirical information if
you use the profiling feature... particularly if you turn on and off
profiling programmatically.
