OK - so I rewrote all the VB code in Perl (which turned
out to be much easier than I thought!) and I can't tell
the difference between the speed of the mixed VB/Perl
and the Perl only version - they respond in exactly the
same way, except that the Perl only version measures its
execution time correctly (probably because the previous
code was not executing in a predictable sequence).
So - looks like the problem is somewhere else, probably
in the response time to the FetchURL() method of
Win32::Internet...
