There could be other factors in play that made my program with the message a bit slower - isn't there a slight amount of overhead when program execution crosses a register boundary, or am I thinking of a different calculator? Maybe my program with the "WAIT" message added wasn't aligned as neatly (yes, I PACKed the program, and SSTed over the GTO 00 to compile it first). |

That is correct, there program speed may vary slightly due to the position of the bytes inside registers. Not strange if you think about it, it needs to fetch a register and then align the bytes to the same position for execution dispatch. You should not modify the program before the loop, call a subroutine located after the loop where you make any changes. |

That's a good idea, maybe I'll try that tomorrow just for kicks to see the difference. The core of the routine is just TIME, LBL 00, DSE 00, GTO 00, TIME. |
