Sorry, good point, I meant "fastest", as this rendering is supposed to happen on the fly as HTML is output to the browser.

    Trying it a few different ways and testing it out with Benchmark is the best way to know for sure.

    My intuition is that you'll go faster with smaller "bites", since you'll be slinging less data around, so I would suspect that reading it in a line at a time, then using a special sub or state when you need multiline input, would be fastest. But that's just a guess...
