Thanks for the summary, Andrew.

Guillaume (or anyone else tempted to do this) - it's a good idea, when
posting 100 lines of data, to summarize with a line or two of words, as
Andrew did here.  It is far more efficient for one writer to do this,
than each of a thousand readers.

Hmmm ... so why was exec slower?
