I have the same problem with new-dispose (Mars88 is in Pascal) and I think
the solution is not to use new-dispose.
I'm not absolutely sure about the heap management routines, but I think It
would be faster to create a list of memory chunks (size 2*8000) and then
use this list instead of new and dispose.
So we need 2*8000 new at the begining of the program and 2*8000 dispose at
the end of the program, but we need to do it just once in. In the next battle
the free-list already exists.
I'm not sure if it's really faster, but I'd like to try it out so please
send me a note if you think it's nonsense.

Nandor.
