I know how to time them.
THANKS

My question is more along the lines.

Will Euphoria IGNORE the fact that
the appropriate amount of 2-Dimensional
space has been allocated and then
Completely recreate each sequence.

You should know the Dynamics of Euphoria.
seq = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}
Does seq become {0, {0, 0}}
{5, 6} to s[1] then becoming
{{5, 6}, {0, 0} Or will the
allocated space speed up the process.

I guess I could call this Points to Ponder.

I will be testing the speeds before your next
response.
