Sorry, I just meant that the version that puts the
exception into a variable outside of the loop is a win over
the one that creates the exception inside the loop.  The
fastest loop routine overall was the tail recursive loop,
i.e. the functional/recursive.  However, this latest
imperative version has timing that's very close -- the
imperative version that pre-builds the exception takes
just over 28 seconds, and the tail-recursive version
takes just under 27 seconds.
