searching – 100-500+ times faster;
sorting – )1000 times faster.
Benchmark:
1. It takes Valentina 68k on the Macintosh LC/68020 31 seconds
to perform the particular search.
2. It takes FileMaker PPC on the G3/233 71 seconds to perform the same
test.
3. It takes Valentina PPC on the G3/233 about 0.4 of second to performs
the same test.
Valentina is available for Apple Script lovers, as scriptable standalone
