Hi

Not really :) we are looking at a maximum of 24 records to return and
with just locating in the buffers it shouldn't be a big deal. It is a
nice way to solve a problem that is simple and straight forward.

Not to worried about the 'just 1 calorie' version as this is a very
small and infrequently used operation, I just got worried when it wasn't
working as expected :)
