Basically I want to compare two tables of 165 elements (colored pieces).

Local var: ID =1 for index in array table.

Constrain attribute - Var1 = tablecellvalue(arrayA,ID,1)
Constrain attribute - Var2 = tablecellvalue(arrayB,ID,1)

Rule ID < 165
Timer = 0
Rule Var1=Var2 ............................
Display Text ID (to see ID on screen) only for tests.
Change attribute ID = ID+1

With this simple loop, i need about 5 seconds to complete.
know any way to make this simple loop faster?

    Searching tables is a slow process at this point. Not much you can do. Lists over 50 are very slow. Also I don't recommend using 0 timers as they can cause crashes.

    I needed to check over three hundred items in a list and did this by creating doubling the number of actors and working on an offset basis I.e odds and evens. I added more actors and did nth processing if required!

    Keen to hear how others have dealt with this.
