Interesting .. I would have thought that map would be faster, but it appears that foreach is, in this instance. curious.. :)

Benchmark: running Foreach, Map for at least 5 CPU seconds...
   Foreach:  9 wallclock secs
        ( 5.24 usr +  0.00 sys =  5.24 CPU) @ 35906.30/s (n=188149)
       Map: 11 wallclock secs
