It may already have been reported under different symptoms, since my testing here with the current version (7.0.4) has SearchArray2 about 15-30% faster than SearchArray1, with rare exceptions which may be accountable by background system tasks.
In fact, given that SearchArray1 includes the extra overhead of extracting the keys and creating a text list from them, if it were faster I'd call it a bug.
