With OPTION DEFINT and a outer loop of 1000 I got this this time:
11.97 seconds, so less than 12 msecs for one run.
No bad for an interpreted language.

Thank you for testing SmileBasic, that turns the Nintendo into a very powerful pocket computer like device.
Thats pretty fast for a bytecode interpreter. The german wiki mentions a CPU clock switch in the home menue,
but I guess it's running at 804 MHz already.

Funny, the goto version is faster than the version with repeat, while and for.

I've made the same observation on many languages.

Yes please. I guess you have tested ver.3.6.0?
