Make Programs run faster?

Is there any way to make Scratch run the programs it creates faster? For basic programs, its fast enough, but for serious number crunching, I find myself waiting hours to get results. I don't necessarily need to see the variables changing, and the list items highlighting, but it seems like it is these actions, that is slowing everything down. So is there a way to speed things up, or am I doomed to wait for ages, to get anything done?

Optimize it.
AKA delete anything unneeded or can be done in a simpler way.


Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

Have you tried turbo mode?
Otherwise, use BYOB and dump all the script into a custom atomic block.
