Take this test for example:

Open in online IDE

oldtime=MilliSecs()
For i=1 To 100000
Print "Health: 22  Level: 7"
Next
newtime=MilliSecs()
time=newtime-oldtime
Print time
WaitKey()
End

Took 55676 millisecs on my system (tell me if my test is rigged :)

If you look at the thread I posted, people were reporting 2-3 ms for fasttext, 60ms for blitztext (something like that?)
