    Algorithms

    Can you think of any algorithms that are a little bit slow in visual basic but used often?

    I'm trying to get better at code optimization in assembly language and could use ideas on a few things to do.

    Everything is slow in VB, when it is compared to Assembler.

    A good example I just thought of would be bitwise operaters. I'm pretty sure vb6 and below doesn't have them. Things like shift left, right, etc That would be something useful eh?

    Well that would probably beat a function call anyway. Of course you still have rotate functions but I don't think you would ever need that in vb.

    Time to trade in your 286 isn't it?
    LOL neva!

    On a side note, 486 is the lowest directive I use anymore.
