Extra testing code, removed??? How much code was it in the betas ??? A ton ?
I´m not sure, but I think the speed that LB opens up in IS *** FASTER *** than when I used LB 3.41...
I not sure if the Llamas did some optimizing of the next version (3.5) of LB, but IMHO, is there a huge increase in speed when starting upp LB 3.5 fc1.
Sitting here, surfing the web and reading on LB:s forum, enjoying the vacation I earned :-))
Keep up the good work, get organized in a good way and have fun in life, both to the Llamas and the other users of LB.

Ooooh! Hadn't realized that it would be that noticeable.
Thanks Popeye,
I think we work with the debug version so much, that we forget how much testing code is in there. Yes, in fact, there's quite a lot. :-)
One issue for Palm users is that there is less horse power. All the test code is running on Mac and Windows too, but you hardly notice it unless you are working with a huge amount of data. On the Palm side... the slow down for the test code is going to be more noticeable.
We didn't do anything specifically to optimize speed in this set of builds, (other than making them release builds) but it may have happened as a natural consequence of other changes.
Best wishes,

P.S. I'm also pleased to hear about your vacation! That's very cool too!
