Running a single loop many times will not expose much because that loop (which is NOT within a Forth colon subroutine) will compile only once. In my performance benchmarking with tb@ I have put 45 IF-THEN and IF2-THEN2 control statements that will each compile once and reveal the difference in compilation speeds. > > You can use "tb@" to get the current value of the timebase counter, so > > reading that before and after the loop should provide you with a way of > > measuring the required time. > > > > Thomas > >
