When it comes to doing it once, my way is faster.

Refresh more then once to get a accurate average of times.

That's totally different then doing them in a loop, and recording the time.

Anyways, I'm done here for now.

no but you were saying that youre not going to do it more than once, (which meant that iszak's was faster, but you claimed yours was), but then you said refresh it to get a good average (which makes yours better, when you said iszaks was better)

oh drama, who gives a **** - they both work and are both reasonably fast.
