Hi, I made a hello world program that demonstrates that in Harbour, printing 30000 devouts to the screen in a fixed location takes way longer than Clipper, in different circumstances.
I was wondering if any devs could help isolate the issue, whether it's some inefficiency in Harbour code, or Windows. To sum up, on Windows 98, cl52e vs Harbour 2.1.0dev, Clipper was around 139 times faster running the same code. In Windows XP, Clipper was around 14.6 times faster. The reason this is a problem for us is that Win98 users who use the software are complaining that it's WAY slower than the old 16-bit clipper ones, doing all sorts of tests. My theory is that it is simply because the tests take too long to print integers to the screen during for loops.
