  Another interesting follow-up to that: I've
found two things that can greatly speed
up complex VBS operations. One is to always
use arrays as string builders for large strings.
The other, not so dramatically efficient but
still worthwhile, is to do case-insensitive search.

Example:
  You have 3 MB of text and need to search
for numerous strings, which may or may not
be the same case. I've found that it's notably
faster to copy to string with something like
s2 = LCase(s)
  Then s2 can be searched using binary search,
while s is still the string operated on:

Pt1 = Instr(1, s2, "apple", 0)
s3 = Mid(s, Pt1, 5)
s3 then returns apple, Apple, APPLE, etc.

  The non-case sensitive version of Instr has to
do a more complex search. The binary version
just needs to look for a matching byte value.
