Game Maker - Speed of Variables
A downloadable tool
This project has been ancient history for years, but it's finally been properly superseded by another thing I made: GMBenchmark
It seems like there's always a bit of debate about certain types of variables in Game Maker being faster to access than other types of variables. Here's a little demonstration that will hopefully clear that up.
Code included in the download, so you can mess around with it yourself.
