Revolution speed sucks?

Monte,

The textcolor is applied to each matching number in the gamelist, then to
the bonus number if used, then again applied to the "--x" result item
depending on the value of the minpaynumber global.

There is a lot of textcoloring going on!

I'll delete the textcolor properties and see how it behaves, tomorrow!

Regards,

Andy Burns
