I hear you Sean ..it is pretty interesting .... These are like gritty details about the engine, and I love learning them. I did not expect less than a microsecond / operation, thats for sure. There are a few other operations I would like to test in this way. thanks for reminding me about the detail millisecond, this will help with accuracy.
More on this in about a 2 couple weeks time. I am excited to bring something new to the LC developer community. :) Cheers Tom On Wed, Apr 7, 2021 at 7:26 PM Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi Tom > > It is really interesting to see the results from this though.
