Speed and efficiency improvements
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2016 1:41 pmI've done some timing experiments just to see how feasible some things (like "bit banging") might be. I notice that the IO() functions take about 4 milliseconds. I couldn't figure out why until I was perusing some source code.
What I'd like to propose is code modifications to make some of the interpreter operate faster and more efficiently. For example, there are a few areas where strings of conditionals can be replaced by different strategies. Would there be willingness on the part of the developers to talk about *simple* modifications that can increase speed, decrease code space, or both?
