Shane, that is totally awesome! 👍
Taking only 0.1 sec to find a dup out of 30,000 items. I would never have
dared to dream that such performance was possible.
I have ran your test with 30,000 test items, and I can confirm the results and
time.
Now I will test using the real-world data of Evernote Note Titles. I will
update the list after the test.
I cannot thank you enough. You continue to amaze me.
Best Regards,

FWIW, I did some tests closer to Jim's request: 30,000 entries, one match. Time
taken was around 0.1 seconds -- and about two-thirds of that was taken up by
the initial creation of an array from the list.
