More good tips, thanks. Yes, I have to look at defining the various types,
especially the ones that can go above 32768.
Concatenation with '+' is a habit from other languages I've worked with; as a
matter of fact in most cases the M100 lets you print without any separators at
all, e.g. print A$" to "B$ or a"plus"b
Interesting discussion (at least for some of us ;-) )

DEFINT a-z reduced the time to print 50 lines from 61 seconds to 51
I'd also forgotten about integer division; that reduced it another 4
seconds to 47.
Any more ideas?

Seems like you can declare constants in expressions as integers? So 4096
would be 4096% I guess.
I haven't experimented much with it but it might prevent copies, casts,
intermediate calculations from going to double precision floats..
And I don't know if there's much difference but you added two strings that
were being printed. It might be faster to use ; instead of + since it doesn't
do a intermediate string copy.
