I sense I'm about to get ripped a new one... Obviously dereferencing a variable has a cost. Normally, no big deal, but I'm happy to research it later. These scripts are run through a huge number of times at various stages, and any slowdown is detrimental. Also, I tend to agree with Doug on the <<search and replace>> issue. If we really want to reuse code like that then we need to start using m4 or something (I'm only being half facetious here). Code reuse is great, but that's not really the case here.
