I re-read BrowserUk's post, and I still don't see that line. And yes, I copied it exactly.

Look at his benchmark code, you know, the node with the numbers :)

Adding that line to his code is unfair, as that will skip half of the data. Fair would be to use \122, but that doesn't change much:

Ok, right, he had \123, the difference is smaller
