Thank you!

I'm reminded of a 3-page code type-in from a computer magazine in the 1980s (it was even featured on the cover) which sped up my Amstrad CPC and unlocked some extra instructions and RAM. A lot of DATA statements in it. Very surprising result!

I learned a lot that weekend :-)

Depends on your definition of "improve" ;-)
