Re: Lingo repeat loop versus other languages

[Daniel Nelson]

It's interpreted byte code.  That can't compete with compiled machine code.  Like the original idea 
behind Java (ie: write once run anywhere, not compiled Java).  Anyone care to make a similar test in 
Java?

But calls to native Director methods (imaging Lingo calls, for instance) are machine compiled code, 
so those run full-speed.
