Right, and I am sure you know this, but it was never particularly a speed
issue,rather more a mental and organizational one, that would be even
more opaque if you had, say a handful of nested delimiters instead of just
two.
The speed info I provided wasn't to show that it's fast, but merely that
it's not too slow to be used right now.
I'll bet with v8's Open Language there would be a way to expand the
syntax to make it more xTalk-like, but if anyone here actually needs to
work on data with n-depth items this function seems to work well enough
to get the job done.

If that would be fast enough for your needs, you could write a function
that takes any number of item number/delimiter pairs as arguments,
following the data itself:
on mouseUp
put 1000 into n
put "aaa,bbb,ccc#ddd#eee#fff,ggg,hhh" into tSomeData
--
put the millisecs into t
repeat n
get nDepth(tSomeData, 3, comma, 2, "#" )
end repeat
put the millisecs - t into t1
put t1/n &cr& it
end mouseUp
function nDepth
get param(1)
repeat with i = 2 to paramCount() step 2
set the itemDel to param(i+1)
get item param(i) of it
end repeat
return it
end nDepth
