It was pointed out to me that there was a better way to do a “cast” and a few simple changes to to porting script yielded some big improvements. So, the new bundle [here](https://hughsando.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/apeport2-a045.zip) now gives:
| Car Demo | Robot Demo | |
| Original | 2.0ms | 9.5ms |
| haXe | 1.58ms | 9.45ms |
| hx->as3 | 1.56ms | 9.47ms |
So now you can add speed as a reason to use haXe.
