Calculating Performance
=== Calculating Performance ===
4. Calculate how long it takes for the code to execute, assuming a 1 MHz clock speed (Watch [https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/ed7aedf1-fe6f-4b72-bbf1-c9b4e6e80af9 this video] if you would like a refresher for instructions on how to do this). Also calculate the total memory usage for the program code plus any pointers or variables.
5. Consider ways to decrease the time taken to fill the screen with a solid colour. Calculate the execution time of the fastest version of this program that you can create. Challenge: the fastest version of this program is more than twice as fast as the original version shown above!
