Hi,
Hope someone can answer me this when I share a project online such as my breakout test http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/uncleclives/7446 and try and test it from there it's much slower than if I download and open it up in the scratch program to play ?

The java implementation is slower than molasses. I don't know whether the problem is that java is an interpreted language (and so usually 2x slower than compiled languages), or whether the problem is lack of attention to resource-efficient programming in the java implementation. Computer science departments no longer teach resource-efficient programming, since only game programmers and bioinformaticians seem to care about speed these days.

forever loops without waits in them seem to be a real killer in the java implementation.
The loop gets run a lot, and all other scripts barely get any cycles.
