You'll be happy to know that I've now fixed the issue, which occurred between 3gim and 3gin, and was to do with me incorrectly accessing the wrong value during the IF command. Good grief, why that didn't show up earlier, I've no idea.

v.3giq, and another hefty jump in speed, with hopefully no odd drawbacks.
I've been using a few programs to keep an eye on whether things are still functioning as they oughta be, but if you've got any coding you think shows any flaws in my recent *snip*

Yeah, that's more or less what I'm seeing. Though the work has been great on Mac, it's been pants elsewhere. A fascinating difference in JavaScript inner workings.
Ok, more to do! Keep optimising, Jay!!

OK, v.3gio is now uploaded.
You might find it to either be faster or slower, depending on your browser.
In Safari and Firefox it's a fair amount quicker, but in Edge it's slower than the original, which is NOT a good direction to be going in.

Not a fan of the flash.. can you maybe make it so does a bottom to top (or top to bottom) flick of each row, instead of the whole screen at once?

Yeah, it's still a noticeable difference. Opera's been the fastest for the majority of the time I've been testing this, but Firefox has really improved over the past few months. Additionally, Firefox's text-to-canvas is getting a LOT fast*snip*

As for why one browser is faster than the other.
It's to do with the JIT compiling of the Javascript.

Yeah. I'm not really sure how to get a BASIC interpreter to do multi-core/thread stuff, without specifically making the language itself be multi-core/threaded.
I mean.. for n=1 to 10 : print ''hello ''+n : next can pretty much only happen *snip*
