I can't recall whether I mentioned this at the time, but I have discovered
that "formating" and 'poking a block is significantly faster than the
typical insert loop.
i: 10000000
a: make block! i
repeat c i [insert tail a c]
b: make block! i
insert/dup b none i
repeat c i [poke b c c]
On my PC the times are 5.64s and 3.67s respectively.
