Well, now the choice is manyfold. One can whine about the slowness
or improve the current situation or something completely different
like shopping...

I prefer improvement.

Either way thanks for the nice test case, let's see if we can speed
up thing in a way that makes it nicer. I am not sure why we check
the string here, or why we check the port for being a port, since
display will do it all over again.

Can someone enlighten me on this?

Kind regards,

Christian
