Is that 2.3 running on your old PC? 
Nice one Rob! How on earth did you manage that?

jc, if you really need it, you can get an additional 20% improvement
in 2.3 with:

 fullName =3D fn & SP
 fullName &=3D mn
 fullName &=3D SP
 fullName &=3D ln

As this takes better advantage of some optimisations in the 2.3
interpreter. I expect both forms will be the same speed in 2.4
