Thanks to bleep finding a very strange performance issue in his bubble universe code I've been able to track down an underlying day-1 inefficiency in the MMbasic memory handling. This release optimises around that and should give a performance improvement for most applications. The code change is very small and doesn't affect any functionality. I believe it to be robust but if you see anything strange please report your findings.

NB: there are known issues in 800x600 and 848x480 resolutions in RP2350 VGA and HDMI versions. I'm looking at this.


This was a problem in WebMiteRP2350V6.00.02RC14 and is still a problem in RC15. When I run the logtable below, the processor reboots at about 9955.

110 LET W=0
120 FOR X=1 TO 9
130 PRINT X;
140 FOR Y=0 TO 9
150 LET Z=(10*X+Y)*.1
160 IF ABS(10^W-Z)>.001 THEN 210
170 LET T=INT(10000*W)
190 PRINT TAB(6*Y+4);T;
200 GOTO 230
210 LET W=W+.0001
220 GOTO 160
230 NEXT Y
240 PRINT
250 NEXT X
260 END


Here's my OPTION LIST:

WebMite MMBasic RP2350A Edition V6.00.02RC15
OPTION FLASH SIZE 4194304
OPTION LIBRARY_FLASH_SIZE  34000
OPTION COLOURCODE ON

OPTION LCDPANEL VIRTUAL_C
