Hi Tone,
I understand that you are experiencing long load times for Euphoria
programs. Can you give us some specific examples of how long things take to
load? Is it 0-1 secs, 1-5 secs, 5-10 secs or what?

On my machines, Euphoria programs load so quickly (even win32lib_FULL.ew )
that I cannot notice it doing so. That is, they load in less than 0.5 secs.

Derek.
