Why would this:

Code:

 
alias updatesearchhistory {
  var %i = 1
  var %numtok = $numtok(%MTsearchhistory,58)
  while (%i &lt;= %numtok) {
    did Autoget 5,203 $gettok(%MTsearchhistory,%i,58)
    inc %i
  }
}

take .3 seconds, when this:

Code:

 
 didtok Autoget 5,203 58 %MTsearchhistory

takes almost a FULL 2 SECONDS...

Code:

I'm using Win98. Maybe it's your XP/whatever theme that causes so much useless processing. The command I used was: //var %i = $ticks \| didtok -a Autoget 5,203 58 %MTsearchhistory \| echo Took: $calc($ticks - %i) ms
