I=92ve noticed this before but never gave it much thought until I just st=
arted
tinkering with Euphoria. Has anyone noticed that a =93DOS WINDOW=94 appea=
rs to
run faster than full screen?
It didn=92t bother me before except that for some reason, I can=92t seem =
to get
the shortcut properties of EX.EXE to run in a dos window but I can hit =93=
alt
enter=94 to force it. That=92s when I see that it is running faster.
It=92s easily recreated if you just make a short program in Euphoria to c=
ount
up and watch the thousands place. You will see that switching between
screens as mentioned above causes the count speed to change. (slow in ful=
l
screen, fast in dos window)
atom x
x=3D0
while x<65535 do
?x
x=3Dx+1
end while
thanks in advance,

Just guessing, but I'd say screen access is the culprit.
Windows only updates a windowed DOS screen whenever it
feels like it. In full screen mode DOS is forcing a screen
update (+scrolling in this case) every time you write to it.
Try this:
--***UNTESTED***
for x=1 to 100000 do
if (x/1000)=floor(x/1000) then
position(1,1)
?x
end if
end for
Havn't tried it myself, but I think reducing
the display overhead will make a diference.
