To add to your final statement...

Using a collection to add 500,000 members and check another 500,000 
item list (in an array) to find duplicates in the collection, and 
return a list of either matches found OR non-matches found (with or 
without duplicates):

Using a For...Next loop took less than 8 seconds. Every other method I 
tried took *considerably* longer. I did not try looping the collection 
with a For Each...Next loop, though, because my experience with For 
Each loops is they tend to be somewhat slower than incremental 
For...Next loops. (I'm basing this on my rather extensive VBA 
programming experience in MS Excel)

I'm not meaning to raise controversy with you, Ivar, but rather to just 
point out iterating a collection is not always the optimum approach 
depending on the task at hand. You've managed to spark my curiosity, 
though, enough to try your suggestion in my 'FilterMatches' utility.
