1. Eu 2.5 What a disaster !!
I am very disappointed with how slow the loading of any program
using my w32engin.ew library is.
This will turn away any new user who uses a any large library
and they will be turn off by this unacceptable performance
of Euphoria.
How can you claim the exceptional speed of Euphoria and
then have a new user try it; They will be sitting there waiting
for it to load and see this lousy performance.
They will just walk away and go to some other langauge .
What a disaster !!
Go back to the original Euphoria code and forget about
impressing users about how Euphoria can be written in Euphoria.
You would of been better off spending your time developing
a compiler.

It's over 23000 lines, plus a couple of thousand lines
in files it includes.
To help 2.5 scan/parse faster, try inserting
with profile
at the top of euphoria\source\eu.ex
then run:
exw \euphoria\source\eu.ex win32engin.ew
(or run any other large program)
to get ex.pro.
There are various things that I (or anyone) can do
to speed up the front end. I spent years working
on the old C-coded front end. I've only spent months on
the Euphoria-coded front-end. Any speedups that anyone
makes can be copied straight into my "official" front-end.
(But please, let's not sacrifice readability in the name of
a tiny speedup.)
