Memoryblocks are slower starting with 2024r3

Try it for yourself and see the results. If your apps are doing anything substantial with memoryblocks, you’ll notice significantly slower performance starting with 2024r3.

dim s, e, t as double
s = System.Microseconds
dim z() as memoryblock
dim j, k as integer
for j = 0 to 1000000
  dim m as new MemoryBlock(8)
  for k = 0 to 7
    m.byte(k) = j mod pow(2,k)
  next
  z.append m
next
e = System.Microseconds
t = e - s
dim r as string = format( t, "0.0000" )
dim clip as new Clipboard
clip.SetText r
MsgBox r
quit
// Mac Studio M1 results running in the IDE:
//2024r2 1311051,0000
//2024r3 1868024,4583

Note: speed of 2024r3.1 is the same as r3
