I was having a look at the file: Lib/markupbase.py (@ 82151), function: "parsedoctypeelement" and have seen something that has caught my attention:

if '>' in rawdata[j:]: return rawdata.find(">", j) + 1

Wouldn't it be better to do the following? pos = rawdata.find(">", j) if pos != -1: return pos + 1 Otherwise I think we are scanning rawdata[j:] twice.

Is it really a significant optimization? Can you do an experiment and show figures?

       Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
