If your macro just calls the "move" routine it will make absolutely no
difference because your are in effect typing in the above anyway.
If your macro inserts the code for "move" inline rather than calling it it
will be only very slightly faster and at a cost of much more memory usage.
Typically the best approach is to ignore speed considerations (within
reason!) during initial development and then to address hot spots should
speed problems arise. I have often seen software developers wasting tons
and tons of time developing complex code to run just as fast as possible
when the simple approach would have been just as good if not even better.

| Just a quick question with regards to executing some instructions quickly. I'm using the pa7i9600.icb file to control a couple of mini SSCs, and I need to move 6 servos as close to simultaneously as I can. My question : is it faster to write a (...)
