@MMS: The P-code needs a so large executing code because it does really use its own code for the Basic commands. The constants are included inside the commands themselves, the variables are directly addressed, without any scan over the variable area. The integer variables are 2 bytes long (instead of 5). The formulas parsing is different so that integers work as integers without to be converted to FP. The structured branches are better too: Gosub block is smaller then more levels can be used. The For Next is optimized too.
The above info is for Austrospeed. I don't deeply know other compilator, except MicroComp that anyway have just some Basic commands.
Ah...  if you disassemble the ROM from $BD35 pls supply me with the results for the next issue of UltimateMap!
@Litwr: nice work! Finally new tools for coders on the 2020 years!
Regarding the SSHAPE command, I don't want to believe they had to slow it intentionally :-/ Too bad, I think they just added it as a last minute command (it is bugged, as known, maybe because no time to test)
