Optimize fractals #518

Closed jkotlinski closed 1 year ago

jkotlinski commented 1 year ago

Running the test suite takes pretty long. A fair bit of that time comes from running the "fractals" demo.

Since "turtle.fs" and "fractals.fs" contain Forth code exclusively, it might be worth taking a second look at that. Probably it is worth to rewrite some of that code in assembly?

Some low-hanging fruit has been picked up now. Probably there are more opportunities in sin/cos functions.
