fielda aren't usually used for 200Kb strings ;-)

'show event is triggered usually only for active field and when user hit any
key...so where is the slowdown???
moreover:
>> st: now/time/precise loop 10000 [uppercase random "593428pf9rhtepowfh9
pw3r8fhp3wghw3rijwpoihpg"] now/time/precise - st
== 0:00:00.09 ;on my celeron 533Mhz
so where is the problem with speed? ;-)
