It just seems odd to me that the chunking is so slow when done the second way. Just for the heck of it, I did a SPLIT so as to work on an array, and sure enough, it is just a little slower than the first technique (even though there is the overhead involved with splitting the container into an array before working on it). I wonder if I can create an index of positions in a container for the start of each line/whatever and speed it up, because if so, then perhaps a new datatype is in order.
