When POV parses, does it directly parse the text file? If so, perhaps it
could load a compressed version into memory: replace keywords with
binary code, so no tedious text searching slows down a big parse; when
using loops and such, give #end statements an address refering to the
beginning, etc
For all I know, POV could already do this, but I know text parses much
slower than binary...

Perhaps it is asking too much...

Also, perhaps, different variable types. I don't know how many times
I've stored integers between 0 and 10 in an array of doubles...
