Well, I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed a speed increase since v3.7.0 but I just installed v3.8.0 a few hours ago and things seem to be running about 30% faster than before!
This is mainly just a lot of repetitve math being done in SCREEN 0 so it may not apply to all situations, but I'm very impressed (and grateful) to whoever sped things up.
The problem I usually do as a short test would take an average of about 6.0 seconds. This has always varied just a little either way (for better or worse) ever since using v0.8.2 but now the average time is about 4.2 seconds!
I also notice a lot of changes and fixes on the forum such as the right banner showing up by default, favicons showing up like they're suppose to, etc.
Thanks to all of the developers and members (past and present) for keeping BASIC alive and making this a great place to visit.
@Pete : Your presence has be sorely missed for a few months now... hope to see you back soon.
