<ditto for 2.0>

Better still, write a button that sequentially "clicks at the loc of
card field i" for all fields, and times it using "the seconds".

Results - running on an SE under MonoFinder (HC2 is slower with
competition from other Apps/DA's) for 36 card fields:

	HC 1.2.5		25 seconds
	HC 2.0			77 seconds	3.08 times longer.

If I lock the screen it takes 79. If I background it under
MultiFinder, it takes 10 ??????

Yes, ummm...
