why is the latest QB64 so slow?

[TempodiBasic]

In last days I have done a test using the code posted... and I got 22/23 sec for test on Toshiba celeron 4 Giga Ram win10 64bit
how hard is this code ! A good benchmark ?

in my opinion, the test is too simple to be considered good, though I certainly am no expert.

WIN 10 here, and it’s consistently slow with all versions of 32-bit QB64.

thats because win10 is busy chatting with M$ with your daily activity :P

sorry could not help myself heheheh

I usually keep my Win10 offline while running my QB64 programs, and they do run faster. I think MS should include a message alert: "We now return you to your regularly scheduled program..."
