Also if you do not lock the screen the engine has to update the display each
time a line changes. Not sure if this is the case if the line is not visible...

Variables are always faster, but how much faster depends on what you're
doing in the "etc" part. Just reading the lines will be quicker than
writing back to the field on each iteration.

When using a field with close to 45000 lines, the second (using the lines of
the field) version takes on average 23 milliseconds, whereas using a variable
takes on average 15 milliseconds. For a field /variable with 5000 lines the
difference is about 2 milliseconds here. The actual speed and di
It is faster to use version 1 because accessing the
lines in a variable is faster than accessing lines in
a field.

I've done a little bit of speed testing showing extremely slight differences,
but wonder if anyone who understands the "engine" can advise on this:
Is there a difference between these two approaches?
(1) put fld 1 into txt; repeat for each line k in txt; etc.
and
(2) repeat for each line k in f
