I used Compile-it forever. It was faster than the compiled v.2x HC by orders of magnitude. But, and this is hardly a fair test, I get over 8 million passes per second through a repeat loop in LC if I do not tax it overmuch, say, adding 1 to a variable on each pass. The point is, how much more speed can be garnered if a new complier was attached to the engine? Craig

Sorry but it just isn’t up to the task as it isn’t fast enough. Remember Compile-It for Hypercard? Perhaps we need something similar for LiveCode that would run at standalone creation time, or whenever we request it for that extra-speed. I know the system took a big hit with Unicode, so how about the option to turn it off for programs requiring super speed? Just my 2 cents. :-) Enjoy your day!
