JSON parser in byte form: Between InstrB on a byte array vs looping bytes, which is faster?

[MoshiM]

As in the title, I'd lke to know which of the two methods are faster and how InstrB works under the hood. For example, if supplied with a byte array does it search using that byte array or does it convert it to text each time and is this in conjunction with converting a search character faster than looping bytes myself?
