Thanks.
And don't forget: don't bother trying to optimize something until

how fast it runs.
Absolutely. I just like to avoid doing things that are massively
inefficient if I can avoid it, just in case things where it doesn't
matter now wind up scaling later (yeah, i know, You Ain't Gonna Need
It...)
Thanks again for the insight.

Sometimes simple optimizations can make debugging go faster. Making
sure that OSXEN are not called inside a "tell" statement can result
in speedup of 100 times, making an overnight run into a 5 or 10
minute run, thus being able to find weird cases more easily.
