There's not much more you can do since find("ID=") is O(n), n being the length of the string. You can get performance only by not traversing the whole string, which is not possible unless we know more about your date (ID always at the end?).

Jan 17, 2013 at 15:17	comment	added	Winston Ewert		Is this the actual code that you are trying to improve the performance of? As it stands, `print` will be more expensive then anything else and relative to that no other change will really matter.
