This plays off a similar principle from before: cache results. The compiler will actually recompute your string length on each iteration of the loop. This will have even worse effects if your string changes mid-loop. A more sensible method is:

Code:

new string[256] = "something long"
new len = strlen(string)
for (new i=0; i<len; i++)
   //...code
