In QuickBASIC, using integers speed things up. DEFINT A-Z, etc. (I used DEFINT I-Z to free up A-H for other types.)
Anyway, I've never speed tested this in QB64 to see if it still makes any difference. Why? Because I have a computer that's too slow and the background processes interfere too much in the results. Damn Windows F'Updates! Oh well, it's good for writing jokes, as by comparison, it makes my wit seem a lot quicker than it really is. One day I hope to obtain a super computer that's faster than a jokamotive and can survive me throwing it off tall buildings in a single melt down. Trust, me, that sounds relatively funnier on my current system.
