Instr() API? There is no Instr() API! Presumably you mean the VB6 Instr
function? It is fast, but that's mainly because computers are fast these
days.

API means application programming interface, which applies to any function
really. It's a fairly general term.

The VB Instr function is fast mainly because (like most other functions)
it simply calls some "under the hood" routine that has been written either
in machione code or (more likely) in ASM

I'd say it was written in C myself. Assembler and machine code are pretty
much the same thing.
