Thank you! There are the well-known ones, and then there are things I simply play around with and see if they improve the speed. The "ON GOTO" tip was merely an idea that I tested to see if it would improve the speed, but I didn't know what it would do ahead of time. :)
Impressive speedups with traditional BASIC. IT was enough for me to get things moving and working let alone parsing the code to that level. Amazing insights. Vision Basic is insane.
Awesome! I tend to focus mostly on Vision BASIC, but I do want to share what I've learned about regular BASIC and machine language too. Let me know if there is a topic you'd like to see covered -- I won't promise anything, but I do listen to the input!
Was going to suggest integer variables as on my old cpc464 they speeded up basic programs. However I've found out that they are slower on the commodore.
They are slower, but I think they're faster than decimal variables when compiling with Blitz. But integers are definitely faster in Vision BASIC - always!
Lots of great tips. Many that I had forgotten over all these years.

I appreciate the compliments! Thank you! :)
I am excited for more great videos! - new sub.
