The test I ran on the Mac emulator was
for x 1 1'000'000 1 []
Which doesn't do much but test the speed of :for
The speed you mention came from an emulator with
dynamic recompiling (Executor) that runs faster
than 68k programs do on a PPC (no recompiling).
On an emulator without recompiling (Basilisk II)
I got execution times around 6 minutes.
What are you doing? Are you trying to run Rebol 68k
on a PowerMac? Believe me, use Rebol PPC.
