This is exciting! I don't have my KT with me right now so I can't test it, will do. Meanwhile I noticed how to speed it up (on my Windows PC by a factor of about 20) by eliminating the sh line that squeezes $SCRIPT. Note that I reversed the role of single and double quotes! Please try this script (untested on KT, tested on Windows busybox)

Spoiler:

#!/bin/sh - 

set -o nounset # Treat unset variables as an error
set -f # No filename expansion

# note: misprints lines that start with '-n'
SCRIPT=$(while read line; do echo -n ${line//$'\"'/$'\"'}; done << 'JAVASCRIPT'
