Have you profiled it? Ah I hadn't done that yet. Thanks very much for the suggestions, especially the very nice detailed explanation about FNdist.

Here's the original JohnsonScript code: https://github.com/TheGoldenManDenis/JohnsonScript/blob/master/example_programs/graphical/glowballs3 (JohnsonScript is my own simple...

It has never once occurred to me to implement that feature in SDLIDE because I never use it in BB4W (indeed I had completely forgotten that it even existed!). I'm guessing that it's a rarely used facility, but perhaps I'm wrong. I've never tried doing that in SDLIDE, but that's only because I assum...
