Now, that's not entirely fair because I _did_ reply to your threads and 
offer suggestions (such as compiling with -release, which, BTW, about halves 
the execution time for the example you gave), but as far as I can tell you 
never even looked at them again.  I've also been working on speeding up the 
interpreter, mostly because of your (and others') complaints.

I'd like to know how FlowerScript handles strings.  Are they mutable?  And 
if not, how do you get around the problem of allocating (at a bare minimum) 
2000 strings in this loop?
