That's another issue.
Robert *should* speed up interpretted Euphoria.
I see a million ways of doing it myself.
Hell, U4IA++ started out as a faster Euphoria interpretter.
Untill I realised that you can never compile for consoles using an
interpretter,thus making it obsolete.
Here's a tip:
When comparing the Euphoria ShellSort benchmark to Visual C++ 5.0 optimised
code, I saw that Euphoria was 11 times slower.
When I replaced all sequences used in the ShellSort benchmark with memory
reads/writes using peek/poke, it was only 3 times slower.
So avoid sequences at all costs in Interpretted Euphoria, U4IA++ repesents
them as simple arrays so you shouldn't worry about that.
