Indeed, that's probably where the difference lies.

Thanks for your proposal, but unfortunately I can't transmit this text, otherwise I'd have done it already.
I'll try again with a more "neutral" text and keep you informed of the results...

Thanks again for your help

@LCMark Thank you very much for taking the time to read me and answer my initial question. By the way, I did not see any difference between the results in the three versions of the engine I tried the English text in so I wonder if your assertion that '10 seems less accurate than 4.5.3' is actually h...

Could you please test this version and tell us the timings.

Hi Bernd,

I'll test this as soon as possible and let you know the results in the meantime.

Kind regards.

2. En Anglais vous ecrivez le mot 'exemple' avec un 'A': exAmple. When someone addresses me by making the effort to use a language that isn't their native language, I'm usually very forgiving of any linguistic errors they might make. But this time, I understand that you might be outraged by my mist...

If this is not "the good forum for that", which is the good forum? For exemple : Developing With LiveCode Talking LiveCode Consider the title of the post is: "But how is this possible?" and not "Help me improve my poor code". It seems that the interpretation of a question depends on : - the terms c...

Thank you bernd for these modification proposals which I will adopt - for the most part - in all my next loops. All the proposals made in this post are important and do indeed bring the processing time down to something acceptable. But I still say that all this takes us away from the original questi...

Klaus, I don't want to be injust, even if the goal of my post wasn't to improved the scripts of the stack, congratulation for this amelioration !
So thank you very much for your post.
Best regards.

This script:[...] took 25 millisecs. Oh, and 25 millisecs are better than 1 millisec ? You think it is natural for a 14-year-old program to be faster than a recent one or to see Carl Lewis faster than Usain Bolt in the same race ? 25 millisecs vs 1 millisec (and even less, sometimes) it is 24 milli...

Dear Craig, dear Bernd, Thank you for your answers and suggestions for improving the initial script. I'm sure I'll gain a lot from following your advice the next time I program looping code. But, at the risk of repeating myself, that's not the problem! Because even if my script can be improved, if i...

@ Bernd Hi Bernd, Knowing you, I'm quite sure your code will be much faster than mine. :wink: But I won't give it a try just yet, because the important thing here is not to improve the quality of the script, but to understand why there is such a discrepancy in the execution of the same script betwee...

@ Klaus With great pleasure. If I didn't put the text used, it's because I consider that what has been observed should remain true with any text used (at least in this format)... But here's the stack with the text in English. I can't put the text in French because it's a personal, administrative doc...

Like many others here, I've experienced slowness in using recent versions of Livecode compared with older versions of the software, particularly under Windows. I've read explanations on this subject in the Livecode forums, particularly those concerning the new calculation algorithms, which integrate...

Thank you for these precisions.

Hello Richmond, I would have liked to learn Sanskrit because it is really a writing with magnificent characters and because it would have allowed me to use your software! And this is not a joke ... I must admit that you regularly bore me (but not always) with your untimely interventions (a forum cal...

I'm just discovering this discussion and its initial question today, and reading a lot of the posts, it seems to me that the most obvious reason hasn't yet been mentioned (sorry if I'm wrong): If Licecode isn't more widely recognized as an app developer language it's simply because it's not a progra...
