Woah, sorry Xan got you on the defensive Simon, I think he was just kidding around about the wanting more files.

From my own tests I do recall it being faster due to the structure of ff files. Specifically when they are loaded using load_sequence_now in a main() procedure. I noticed it most in large frame count sequences (such as walk). It stems from the c standard library that the dink exe (and almost all programs use). There is some overhead involved with opening a file under windows. Multiply this overhead 50 times and it does get noticable.

Anyway, like I said. excuse Xans unique sense of humor (the TMOD was great btw).
