I've been developing a system which reads a database (SQL Object, with SQLITE) and generates very basic HTML code from it.

To start off with I was fastlooping through the results of the query, inserting the code into an Edit Object. At the end, it saved the file as an html file and displayed it via an ActiveX.

However, it seemed to go EXTREMELY slow. I added a yielding feature (similar to the old Looper object, where it would allow MMF to redraw the frame every N loops) and a progress bar, and noticed that gradually the loops get slower and slower.

So I replaced it with Rich Edit Object, and it's a lot faster. Is there any known reason for this?
