Killer speed increase Fred. I mean!!... I mean, this has got to be untouchable! What did you do
From launch to ready, my program and data loaded up in about 5.6 seconds on PB3.94. Now only 2.2 seconds on PB4 Beta 6.
Now while I have to commend you on this masterful achievement, I have to say I'm not too excited about you pushing my program size up from 533504 Bytes to 561152. That's 17% bloat you added to my program Fred
Sure! You can make it run 2 1/2 times faster, but your killing me with all this bloat. Can't you make it half the size?
2 1/2 times ! ! ! That's killer Fred
BTW the changes you've made look really great too! Thanks!

I'm curious, did you check where the "bloat" comes from?

Wroooong ... I said half the size
I trusted in the steady growth and loyal followers when I made my final choice. Now I have to say PureBasic is by far the best investment I've made in a long time.

Have you switched floats to doubles, or something like that?
Mmm... even in fact i've heard that the v4.0 doesn't use .w neither .b, because it converts them internally to longs

Starting with v4.00, all the file operations use a buffer now, which accounts
for the speed increase in loading data files. Plus unlimited length strings and
quads... who would want to stay with v3.94 anymore?
