If I run the following program on the last few versions of Kix, and get the output below, I find that V4.61 was much faster than the rest? Is Kixtart's speed very important to users? Script:- Code: ; time.kix break on @kix ? $max = 10000000 $start = @ticks For $i = 1 to $max $a = 1 Next $end = @ticks $end - $start ? Run command and its output:- U:\>kix32 time.kix 4.61 3760 U:\>kix32-453 time.kix 4.53 5211 U:\>kix32-462 time.kix 4.62 5850 U:\>kix32-464 time.kix 4.64 5897 Regards, _________________________ Bill

ChristopheM ChristopheM Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-05-13 Posts: 309 Loc: STRASBOURG, France	I have made the test several time. Here are the results sorted by duration : Code: version duration (ms) 4.60 3828 4.60 3828 4.60 3828 4.60 3828 4.60 3875 4.61 3953 4.61 3969 4.61 3969 4.61 3969 4.61 3984 4.53 4281 4.53 4297 4.53 4297 4.53 4312 4.53 4391 4.62 5250 4.62 5250 4.64 5265 4.62 5265 4.62 5281 4.62 5297 4.63 5312 4.63 5313 4.63 5313 4.63 5344 4.63 5360 4.64 5860 4.64 5875 4.64 5891 4.64 6109 kix 4.60 seems to be the fastest (with 4.61) kix 4.62, 4.63, 4.64 are very near. _________________________ Christophe

I don't remember when he switched but I think it was for 4.60, so it's not VS2010 that is causing this. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

I wonder if there ought to be an official Benchmark program, to test as many Kixtart functions as possible, just to see if there is any increase or decrease in speed in the latest version compared with earlier ones. _________________________ Bill
