Why does this run SO slow online?
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/colorfusion/1151950
I know allot of projects are a bit slower on-line, but this runs perfectly off-line yet unbearably slow on-line!
Am I using too much of a block that the on-line player doesn't like or something?
Please someone tell me how I can improve its speed.
Also, do you know any other building destroyers?
I really want to see what ideas they have used.

Projects just run that way online... I think a lot of Forever blocks can slow down a project more online than if you didn't use Forever blocks to achieve the same effects - they cause a lot of lag. Basically, a lot of scripts running at the same time can also really slow things down.

I never count on mine to run online. But searching the forums a little will yield you lots of nfo on things that typically lag online play.
aka Pain from DragonSpires, Delrith Online, BotBattle, Urban Dead etc etc lol

Maybe your computer is slow? Different computers play projects at different speeds... but that doesn't prevent your project from possibly being slow. 
I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Actually, I've found that it's not just the speed of the computer as much as it is what platform you're on - even a brand new PC plays certain projects slow, whereas a pretty old Mac plays them perfectly!
