Well, it's definitely faster using the list vs. the command, but the  
delay is completely acceptable and it only seems to affect the first  
match. Using ⎋ to go through subsequent matches seems to be instant  
(probably due to some clever caching TextMate is doing). My slowest  
machine is a dual G5 though, so perhaps it should be kept as a list  
to ensure that it works nicely for older hardware.

Good to know. With that and the above in mind, it sounds like the  
benefits of explicitly listing everything outweigh the costs.
