You're making a conscious trade off, which is better than most of the heavy apps out there, because they are slow and heavy. It would be interesting to document your decision making in some kind of blog post, especially if there is real hard data behind the decisions. That's where the engineering lies.

No way electrical toothbrushes have hundreds of megs of RAM. I thought that they were tiny embedded systems with an ATMega-tier CPU at most, if at all more than a switch, battery, and motor.

RCT and RTC2 are pinnacles of optimization but I understand why we don't code in assembly anymore. Still, C++ with a little care can still be very fast.

 

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to promote my own (relevant) articles on here, please let me know. I have a series of blogs about my takes on technology and a work in progress series on how to get computers to count really fast.
