Its a long shot I know, but I'm assuming that while it runs in the IDE, it is only in P-Code. So if for some reason your program is running faster with P-Code, then you could try compiling it to an exe using P-Code. The other thing to check is that there are no errors and stuff like that happening only in the exe version, like I remember one time my program ran slightly differently in the exe version to the IDE version, it only caused a logic error, but in some cases it might do something weird like cause it to blt offscreen. And in my experience, that can slow down a program like there is no tomorrow (and I don't know why =) hth
