A little bit? You should see my 'main' project. The executable is over 100k and takes almost a half hour to do a full recompile.

A lot of the issues are with the menus I think. Every time I open a menu(except for the prgm menu) it freezes, opens the menu, then refreezes with random letters but not random numbers, then I have to pull the batteries.

Oh, yea. I forgot about that. I messed something up with the loop that selects the tokens. It doesn't *actually* freeze, just displays so many tokens on the screen at once that it is like 5 secs between frames.

As for optimizing it, the core of it is as optimized as it is going to get. The cursor movement and scrolling was a huge pain to get right and I'm not spending 10 hours optimizing it and fixing all the bugs I made for a boost in speed which won't matter once I limit the framerate. Not that it is terribly inefficient or anything though. Almost all the cpu's time is spent on text and displaying the screen. Im using a custom text routine that I made that is 2x faster than the OS's and Ill eventually make a custom lcd update that is 6+ times faster than the default one Axe is using. (partial update instead of the whole screen) Speed isn't an issue. And since the finished editor will be an app anyway space doesn't really matter. I think that pressing 2nd + right to scroll to the end of a really, really long line of code takes a long time but Ill deal with it later. Trying to scroll past the bottom line might be an issue.

Ill work intermittently on this as I find time / motivation. Don't expect speedy updates though. The whole reason I put this up was to help Zeda since she? is making one for Grammer 3. From what I have heard of what is done though, I don't know why mine is needed. That might get more constant updates but I really don't know.
