Richard Gillilan, here, thought he remembered an automatic converter from nets to C some time back, but I don't recall it. Anybody writing a 'net compiler'? Re 3: Yes, we were recently reminded that all inputs to Switch are pre-evaluated. I thought though that all modules upstream of Route(0) were not. Maybe I misunderstood this. Looking forward to any and all improvements you find! DX does have a way to go to be 'real-time' in a lot of potential applications. It will be interesting to see if you can spot some things that can be speeded up.
