Another round of interesting suggestions...thanks to all... Apart from the database solution, I tried some of the others which I had the skill to implement -
1. Write data to a file instead of a variable 2. Read search data into a variable from a field I set up a search of 10,000 queries against 16,000 targets - maybe 100million comparisons Using a file append rather than putting data after a variable: 4min 57sec using a variable (put) 4min 31sec using a file (write) Reading the input search list from a field into a variable 4min 57sec using a variable (put) with no pre-read of input field 4min 57sec using a variable (put) with pre-read of input field So, reading from a field makes no difference, and the gain in writing to a file rather than pitting to a variable is also modest (about 10% gain) Apart from the fact that I'm still processing about 20million comparisons a minute, which is impressive anyway, it seems as though there are no immediate ways of enhancing processing speed. Off now to read up on SQL databases...
