Gabriel: Please... ;)
The only surprise I have gotten out of ANY Basic language, is how FAST Visual Basic is. The Basic language has been known to be slow, by nature. The only basic I remember which was real fast, was GFA Basic on my old Atari ST, but it still couldn't keep up with C language, nor Pascal.
But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy working in Blitz3D ;)
This is something I found interesting, talking about benchmarks (for Blitz3D): http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1998
