The program was given as an example of Euphoria's speed. It can be cleaned up some to become faster. Since it's purpose is to show speed, we should do everything possible for speeds sake.

I think we can consider this about as good as it's going to get. We did get a for-loop optimization out of this, plus some edits to the sieve code itself. Under Linux, for me, 4.0 is faster than 3.1.1, comparing the old 3.1.1 sieve code with both interpreters, and with running the 4.0 with eui.

I've got a couple more tweaks if we need it. Only shaves off 1/2 a second.

I think we should. Every half second is worth it.

Added more tweaks. Closed due to diminishing returns.
