I should note that these are hand timed, so throwing out the fractions of a second (at least) is probably a good idea.

If my calculations are right, and I think they’re not, my M4 Max Mac Studio, using future basic with zero optimization and highly questionable time stamping (it’d help if I knew what I was doing in futurebasic), I’m getting numbers in the nanoseconds. Like six. Nanoseconds.

I strongly suspect in the case of futurebasic that the loops are being unrolled. I don’t know if quickbasic4 is smart enough to do that.

That's ok all of these are hand-timed. It's just generally to get an idea for things
