No, the original version just kept looping through the lines. This got changed circa 2.4 or more likely 2.5 iirc. Feel free to do some benchmarking and see if the speed can be increased, I don't think we've looked at it in a while. There was also talk of looking at whether or not converting from the current function per rule to a single function would speed things up as well. There was a related issue with that where profiling still needs the mulitple function version but the normal version doesn't. Perhaps plugin-izing the rules such that one can swap out a debug version for a more streamlined version... -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Well, it's a multiple of 1 ..." - John West
