Just wanted to say "THANX!" to all who responded by
posting or mailing.  As it turns out, the best
alternative for me will be to compare the
first chars before initiating the strcmp() function
call.  

Next may have to come some algorithm restructuring (the
real performance problem!) -- I shouldn't blame poor
little strcmp() for my design problems!

LONG LIVE strcmp() !
