Ya know the place in my original comment where I was optimizing a different
subsystem? I just discovered Devel::DProf last week (after 5 *years* of
perl... <smacks forehead>), and was using that. *AND* had improved a sore
spot's performance by 10% without even working hard, because of profiling.
Point taken.

Hmm... I was already logging a status message via warn(), I did the SAME
TRICK but stored it in a local variable because I didn't need to go as far
as a customlog...
Sounds like great minds think alike! :-)
