Hurrah! I had some real nasty bugs to fight to get there, and I am happy in all but one respect: there is no notable improvement in performance. Yes, sometimes the universe defies one's abilities to understand it; and just as the rotation curves of galaxies lead inexorably to the hypothesis of Dark Matter, so the performance of Moviestorm leads me to the conclusion that there must exist a thing such as Dark Code. This is invisible to all observational techniques of debugging, but whose presence can be inferred by its ability to grind away at frame rate. Having spent some time chasing the ghosts of "Heisenberg Code" (the bugs that only appear when you are not looking for them) I am now looking earnestly for the presence of an analogue to Dark Energy which will cause inexplicable speed-ups in the application. Some may claim this all points to a fundamental misunderstanding of the universe; I say it's more likely to be because it's Friday and my brain is aching, and when I come in Monday, everything will be as it should.
