I tried that and it was *still* faster to initialize the Parser object
using a file as an argument instead of a string, and iterate through the
<A> tags in the file -- even after waiting an hour to let the file expire
from the disk cache.
Weird. Oh well, now instead of passing the string to the constructor, I
print it to a temporary file and pass the filname to the constructor.
