This is giving me consistent results in the 558-562 frames range. So the discrete variables actually appear *slower* for me. Am I missing something here?

Hmm, that's interesting, I tested this in my own speed program, and I still got faster results for normal words and longs, than newtype words and longs. I use the classic Blitz 2.1, and on all WINUAE configs that I have tried normal variables are faster than newtype variables. Maybe the newer AmiBlitz versions have faster Newtype variables or something?
But in my post I mainly meant newtypes that are located in a List, so that the variables look like: test(list position)\variable
In these cases the speed difference is even more noticeable, when the method that I described is used.
