I have a program that will be grabbing chunks of data (MIDI
data, if it matters) from an XCMD in the idle loop.  The
data will come in small chunks (usually less than 100 bytes),
and I want to eventually be able to put them all together
to send back to an XCMD to save them in a file.

I read somewhere that using "put after" is not the fastest
way to go.  I don't want the program to slow down after
lots of data comes in.

What's the fastest way to store the data in this case?
