Uh oh, look whose running away. Tsch, tsch, tsch, honestly Reaper,
what's the matter, did my post scare you that badly? LOL

Um...that's not my code, you flaming retard.

Apparently I never started in the first place, you dribbling moron.

Now ya see, there's Reaper talkin shit again. Look, Stupid, I'm gonna
make this REAL easy for ya. Take the code that I'm using in teh Flash
file and optimize it. Tres simple, non? All you have to do is take
the existing code and optimize. Given your imaginary skill level it
shouldn't take you more than just a few minutes.

And then when you're done, I'll construct a simple benchmark tool to
expose your idiocy. Heck, when it's done you can even "optimize"
that, it should increase the latency and we can get even bigger
numbers. ^_^
