I think I initially had that impression, but if you think about it, the parser
has to look for a NL/CR line ENDING character so that it knows what the next
line is.
Why this is so SLOW for the parser to do remains puzzling to me, since I can
download hundreds of megabytes, use FIND to search 1000+ page PDF's for text, or
search a whole directory or drive to find that text, and I have a positively
insane spreadsheet I wrote at work which does I don't even want to think about
how many _calculations_ .....
Maybe it's just old, horribly outdated / outmoded coding of the parser.
