This won't change the framerates, but you can speed up the initialization process within RLEmap by using ASC() and doing numerical comparisons as opposed to substring searches and calling EXPR() to determine the value of a character.

As you spotted, it will not change the frame rate. So my goal was to make the RLEMap to work while staying rather simple to read/understand.
Contrary to LNext and LDisp which were both tailored for speed at the expense of readability.

Updated for rev 6030.
Added a version in full screen size, try sets 9 and 6 on emulator with maximized window.

I tried "Version 2.4", and when runs it returns "Life Error: Insufficient memory"
What I'm doing wrong.

No idea, never got this problem.
I am an old fashioned programmer and minimizing program foot print is always a concern to me.
