here is one trick i just thought of, but i think it's not too good coding style:

btw i don't think "if then" takes so much time.

integer G

procedure r ()
	...
	if r(x+1, i) then
		G = 3
        	return
	end if
	...
end procedure

procedure main (0
G = 1
while 1 do
	if G >= 3 then
		exit
	end if
	r ()	
	G += 1
end while
end procedure ()

"while" isn't slower than "if", is it?
