Dan,

I get somewhat different results

2.7 - 19 games in 11.1 seconds  = 1.7 games/second
2.9 - 41 games in 13.1 sec =  3.1 games per second (with simpler mouseDown:)

In 2.9 I was able to get up to 4 new games in one morphic cycle due to the multiple events per cycle. Also, fewer of my clicks were lost in 2.9.

Cheers,
Bob
