Revolution speed sucks?

[Brian Yennie]

Richard,

I wrote it as a MetaTalk script: that is, no GUI. It writes the results 
to a file. The main benefit that this ignores is the ability to 
pre-compile the script (which stacks do every time you save a script). 
When I pasted the same script into a button in the GUI (still no 
display, just running the script inside of the GUI) it ran about 10-20% 
faster.

Neither test was quite as fast as the Perl script, although it was 
pretty close. My guess is that for the basic operations it was 
performing (string manipulations, reading/writing to files) both 
languages are pretty fast.
