Did not try it, but when I did 10,000 it did it, um, was going to say
"fairly quickly" but that is not the right phrase... in less time than it
takes to have a pizza delivered. :) I think it was 9 seconds or so.

When I went up to 100,000, though, I expected 90 seconds or so... but waited
for over five and then gave up on it. AppleScript is known for memory leaks
and other nonsense so I am guessing it pretty much died. If I care I can
check again...

And not a good one, at that!

And WordPress. Surprised he did not point to a WordPress plugin to try it.

He clearly has some good skills. No doubt.

At the very least Owl seems to know what he is doing, too.

What I find funny is how Owl and Marek, who both EASILY blow me away with
their scripting / programming abilities (not even a close call here) seem
hell-bent on proving their worth by showing they can do things I cannot. Um,
yeah, this simple exercise is enough to see that. Not only do I use a tool
that is crappy for the job (assuming you want more than 100) but I do not
even use it well!
