I'm finding that printing to the console screen is noticeably slow.
The following code illustrates this behaviour, at least on my old machine:

Is this a Windows "thing", or is it FB?
Code: Select all
Dim row as UByte
Dim col as UByte
Dim sRowData As String
For row = 1 To 50
For col = 0 To 39
Print Using "##"; col Mod 10;
Next col
Print
Next row
Print
Sleep
For row = 1 To 50
For col = 0 To 39
Print col Mod 10;
Next col
Print
Next row
Print
Sleep
For row = 1 To 50
sRowData = ""
For col = 0 To 39
sRowData &= " " & Hex( col Mod 10, 1 )
Next col
Print sRowData
Next row
Print
Sleep
For row = 1 To 50
Print " 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
Next row
Sleep
