Sean, I'd be happy to hear any suggestions re: perf improvement.
The first suggestion is to remove the while loop that is replacing multiple spaces with one. Jeff Moden has a very clever of way doing this with no loop.

The second would be to get rid of the cursor if possible. Of course we only have a portion of the actual code since the cursor is declared but never referenced again.
