I fear the gain will remain small. did you measured the execution time of both version?
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.
