EDIT: This only works in DBClassic!
I know there's another speed topic, but it doesn't seem to work for DBClassic. This thing does. What's your speed, mine's 72. The number should be low! The lower the number, the better computer you have!
My specs are: 2.4 GHz, 256 MB Ram, 128 MB Geforce IV TI 4200.

+ Code Snippet
rem Testing the speed of Dark Basic
randomize timer()

for b=1 to 10000
d=d+c*d-e^a

c=c+e*c-d^b

Slight adjustment needed to make it work by moving the cls to the top of the loop.

hmmm, makes me wonder how you have set up your PC because I get 42 in various display modes and I have a lowly AMD 650
(rest of my PC specs are in my profile).

edit: Ah wait a moment, this is for DB classic isn`t it, I tested this in DBPro, that's probably why I'm a tad quicker.

Yeah, it appears to be quicker in DBPro. But that's what DBPro is for, isn't it
