Hehe, they are legible, but too slow really, for big data. Did lots of testing for the update of C-C-Combine and coll/text was the way to go, by a significant margin, in terms of speed.
So not really sure what’s best, but I do have “architecture” on the brain from the other thread, and was reminded of this.
For me, all my concerns about buffers still holds up in that it lacks context/meaning, and importantly, dimensional scalability. And in playing with it “in context” in the other thread, I can see having to go in and out of buffers constantly adding a significant overhead to everyday processing.
