You may occasionally find that plotting graphics in LBB is a little slower than in LB 4.04; this results from the overhead of the emulator. This can often be resolved by sending fewer, longer, graphics commands. For example this code runs noticeably more slowly in LBB:
Code: #gr "place ";x;" ";y
for i = 1 to len(rest$) step 2
x1=asc(mid$(rest$,i, 1))-34-45
y1=asc(mid$(rest$,i+1,1))-34-45
x=x+x1
y=y+y1
#gr "goto ";x;" ";y
next
But this simple modification makes it run more quickly in LBB than in LB4.04:
Code: gr$ = "place ";x;" ";y;";"
for i = 1 to len(rest$) step 2
x1=asc(mid$(rest$,i, 1))-34-45
y1=asc(mid$(rest$,i+1,1))-34-45
x=x+x1
y=y+y1
gr$ = gr$;"goto ";x;" ";y;";"
next
#gr gr$
