I ran your tests on my computer. I bumped the gcounter repeat loop up to a thousand.
1st test (just the 10 sprites in the score): sendAll : 37 ms; repeat loop : 90ms 2nd test (150 sprites, 10 behaviored): sendAll : 103ms; repeat loop : 86ms Hmm. Bit of a bummer that. I thought sendAllSprites was much quicker. It gets worse. I moved the behaviored sprites out to arbitrary positions in the score and changed the "repeat with i = " loop to a "repeat with i in [...]" 1st test: sendAll : 84ms; repeat : 101ms 2nd test: sendAll : 110ms; repeat : 100 ms I expected the different repeat command to slow down, but the performance decrease on sendAll on the 1st test (37ms to 84 ms) is a real bummer. If Director does store a list of currently available handlers, then I daresay it does it badly.
