Another small filled circe sub (not as fast as fcirc)

[bplus]

OK I started using _Display because I didn't like seeing all those incomplete circles drawn and at first it looked like fcirc was going to win everytime. _Display definitely slowed everything down considerable. I had switched to declared Types for the FC3 sub because I thought the optimized compiler would love that!

I thought wrong! FC3 sub beat out fcirc 8 trials out of 10 when I switched back to default Single Type for the FC3 sub!!!

Not what I expected, but something I saw yesterday when playing around with mods of Dav's starting code.

8 out of 10 trials FC3 was faster with optimized compiler and using _Display to show completely drawn circles:

I am curious if your results differ? on both Windows and Linux systems
