Hi,
we tried to optimize our tile based game engine by using compiled sprites
instead of rle sprites.

Result: 30000 tiles need 21 seconds with compiled sprites (20 seconds with
rle sprites)

We used the sprite routines draw_rle_sprite and draw_compiled_sprite of
Allegro 2.2

Why?????????????????????

Greetings
