So BASH is MORE efficient, surely ? On the other hand, while you can compile everything, you get most profits by getting deep down to the system level. If you write i++; an interpreter will use 300 cycles to examine the string, AFAIK, BASIC52 was smarter than that, in that it tokenised the line on entry, so that the syntax was not repeatedly re-evaluated. You know a hell of a lot more about it than I do ! Steve |
