I don't really understand what you are saying, but if the question is : why enicar is so fast.
1/ good C++ will always be faster than good VB.
2/ I'm not a PC/windows programmer. In fact this is my first work on windows.
I'm a game programmer working on hardware between 222mhz to 700mhz. So i'm used to make each mhz count by writing high efficient code.
3/ RR is a very good piece of software but after years of modification it start to getting old, addon after addon it start to become a slow mess, nothing against RR, all piece of software are like that. But as i know that, after writing a lot of code, i stop, look at it, found a better way to do it, totally rewrite it.
For example since the start of enicar i've rewrite 3 times the way i handle bitmap. And i'm working on the 4th way by changing all to support animated gif.
