This increments a variable to 100_000_000 in less than 5 seconds on my Android tablet.

I'd say it is incrementing TWO variables from 1 to 100000000.
B and i.

Yeah - I can't understand the logic behind having B at all. <confused>

An empty for-next can be misleading.

For example, the ByPic executes ~400,000 lines/sec but an empty for-next runs 1,280,000 times/sec.

Those things look pretty bada$$.

Are you running Linux or Android?

Easy to get up and running or did you need to jump through hoops?

Back & forth ( TinkerOS Linux mostly )
The Android is pretty much limited ...
( Seems to me ( but I know little
( cannot seem to get to ' files '
to save my ' favorites ' ) ) )

No hoops . I ' ve had it a long time ,
but didn ' t use it because it wouldn ' t
run Sonic Pi .... I ' ve relegated a 3 B +
to sound now , and do not like the 4 B ,
so here we go .....

Has anyone figured out how to load bas files locally?

Seems to be cut/paste right now.
Not sure what it's purpose is - a code generator for use elsewhere(?)

I had a go with Droidscript...not a good experience but if the code could be created in QBjs and pasted to Droidscript...Dunno.

I think that for my Android stuff, B4A and RFO BASIC! are hard to beat.

Well, the demos are impressive and it's 40 times faster than MMBasic for DOS.
Kind regards

A search for javascript vs Web assembly brings up some interesting links. I didn't provide any particular one because there are so many.

I'm really liking this QBjs because I'm always armed with an android device and it's great to be able to play with ideas and the syntax is close enough to MMBasic.

Using the Microsoft optimizing compiler (PDS) with an empty FOR-NEXT loop just sets the index variable to the final count+1. It doesn't actually count through the numbers since there's no need.

FOR i%=1 to 1000
NEXT i%

does something like this:

mov _I%,03E9

so it's important for PDS and similar compilers to actually do something in the loop if you're benchmarking a routine on different machines.
