Surely you wouldn't return a delimited string, you would return person
nodes and then select the values from the returned nodes?

Also, the comparison isn't quite right - the only fair thing would be
time how long it takes to output the information to a file or standard
out (the gui language would likely be different in either case, say
swing vs html)
