Actually, SQR(x) is 2x faster than ^.5. I think that's because ^x uses a general method, and SQR(x) is a streamlined version of ^x, with a lot of things canceling out.

Your code is slower because:

1) You have a while loop for your timer
2) You use UNTIL instead of direct IFs...

Of course a good compiler will make ^.5 into SQR(x). But qb45.exe isn't actually that smart..


EDIT: You're right, I fouled up.
EDIT: Fixed...
