[>CC<] Just by curiosity, I tried to estimate the supplementary time
needed by 'recycle call:
>> no-rec: does [start: now/time/precise i: 0 loop 100000 [i: i + 1]
print now/time/precise - start]
>> no-rec
0:00:00.03
>> rec: does [start: now/time/precise i: 0 loop 100000 [i: i + 1
recycle] print now/time/precise - start]
>> rec
0:05:55.507
>> 0:05:55.507 / 0:00:00.03
== 11850 ;times more or...
>> 0:05:55.507 / 100000
== 0:00:00.00355507 ;... per recycle
