Good general advice, but but profiling the OPs code won't tell you anything that isn't readily apparent from a cursory inspection. Matching N elements from one file against M elements from a second, by iterating through an array containing the M elements--and respliting each element each time through--it is obvious enough where the problems lie. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
