Many of the scripts at REBOL.org that do maths processing in bulk would benefit from rebocde, as would some others: http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/search.r?filter=math But some would not, or not to any great extent. Just taking a look at some of them (I'm making assumptions without having tried to convert them to rebcode, so I may easily be proved wrong): My own oneliner-prime-factors.r would speed up many times with rebcode. But it could be doubled in speed (at least) without rebcode if I were not limited to 132 characters. game-of-life-variation.r would benefit a little from rebcode driving the maths. But the part of the script that is slowest is the 'show for changed cells -- each cell is a separate VID face, and massed 'shows are slowing it down. I suspect it may be mega fast with rebcode AND a change to manipulate an image rather than an array of faces. oneliner-pi.r -- looks a good candidate for a rebcode speed-up transpose.r -- I have no idea if rebcode would help here or not.
