After Javascript and I fell in love everything felt just right. But now, things are starting to nag, as they always do eventually...

I'm now using javascript for almost anything that requires loops, dynamic variables and so on, but it seems that it works much much slower than regular max-language which becomes a big problem with intensive use.

Copy-paste the text in the comment-box next to the js-object into the js-object.

Then turn on the metro, you'll see how the max-subpatch starts counting. Also watch your cpu.

Then click on the switch so the bangs will go to your javascript-code. This code does exactly the same thing. But watch your cpu and you'll see that it makes a BIG difference.

My heart is broken... can anybody fix it?

How slow is javascript, really?
