Although the docs are right that strpos is about 2x as fast... Right. I removed the note you posted to that effect a few moments ago because you didn't explain what was being done. If you'll resubmit it with a snippet of the conversation (or even just, "in discussions about benchmarks with this vs. that vs. those, blah, blah, blah....") it'll stay up. It's a good test result, and worthwhile for those building large-scale systems.
