It is also very important to declare the variable used in for loops as
an interger. If the variable is allowed to be the default of real, there
is a great speed hit.

A number of databases I've written aren't practical to use without being
compiled because they would be too slow (even on a IIci); compiled, some
sections run a good 20+ times faster. The speed improvement comes when
there are long scripts, working with arrays, variables etc. It does not
help with searching, sorting, loading and saving.

Best wishes,
