PS - one more test that I will add later to the "showdown" stack:

"Root Loops" tested both repeats and math (hence the name) but I hadn't 
benchmarked an empty loop. I should have done that to try and separate 
math from loops to the extent possible.

(on native Windows 10 6th Gen i3)

repeat with i=1 to 1234567
end repeat

LC 6.7.11: 45 ms
LC 9.0.0: 125 ms
9 vs 6: 2.8x slower

repeat 1234567
end repeat

LC 6.7.11: 15 ms
LC 9.0.0: 20 ms
9 vs 6: 1.3x slower

Could be significant, yes?

Best wishes,

Curry K.
