well..on Macintosh..

this:

(t: now/time) (for x 1 1'000'000 1 []) (print now/time - t)

took:

0:05:03 with verion 2.1.2 PPC

0:00:23 with verion 2.2.0 PPC    cool !!

any idea ??



btw to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

>> start: now/time a: 9.0 b: 0.5 loop 1000 [loop 10000 [c: a ** b]]
== 3
>> now/time - start
== 0:01:30
