hello @madscijr, i think i've done the trick. compiled with option O3, qb64 is much faster than the original version in calculations, sorting algorithms, string manipulations. the speed gain is very important. the console programs i've made for personal use are quite efficient although not as fast as freebasic. qb64 allows to develop very quickly like quickbasic. it's a definite advantage. you can concentrate on the essential. i didn't notice any visible problem. it would be necessary to make more tests to validate the compilation in O3 and eventually to propose an optimized version of qb64. but this decision is up to the maintainers of qb64.
frankly, I had not considered using qb64 at the beginning. I tested many very interesting basic interpreter, I thought that the speed of development and the instantaneous execution of the programs is an important criterion, finally the speed of execution is more important when it is necessary to make many treatments. I will thus use qb64 intensively. I would continue to use freebasic equally.
