Thanks Fletch, I'm going to comp performance between using an array and a linked list. BTW, to dragonchild, an example of what I want to avoid is the added CPU usage when inserting characters into the middle of the array. Lets say my user decides to paste a block of text into the middle of the document. The bigger the array is the more CPU it uses to do so. Right now I'm seeing significant (to me) CPU usage when this occurs, and since my intent for this project is to be entirely non-blocking, I figure I may as well do everything I can to drop any unecessary CPU usage. From what I'm seeing, I certainly have to question your statement about a perl array being a linked list, as it certainly doesnt perform like one.
