The snipplet is slow: 10 000 times on IE6 890ms. 10 000 times on FF3 600ms. Do it much more faster with:


String.prototype.swapcase = function(){
	return this.replace(/([a-z]+)|([A-Z]+)/g,function($0,$1,$2){
		return ($1) ? $0.toUpperCase() : $0.toLowerCase();
	})
}

10 000 times on IE6 344ms. 10 000 times on FF3 166ms.
