Does DBPro handle sliding collision faster than regular DB?

I have seen an example made by a DBP user with 35 collisions in 1 loop, which on DB classic eats the fps to less that 5. I have trouble maintaing a fps over 20 if there are more than 4 object collisions being checked at once.

He claims he experiences fps's of greater than 100 on DBP. Is it that DBP uses better sliding collision than regular DB? Because the code compiled and ran on both our machines, and my computer is decent to the point where there would not be that much of a difference. I dont have DBP and plan to get it very soon, but this is just something I am very curious about...

Does sliding collision kill fps in DBP the same as DB?

'He' has a name of sonic, which is me!

I have reduced sliding collisions down a bit and my test world now has all sorts of objects scattered over it, from cubes to spheres to 'x' files and frame rate still not affected!

I can not be bothered to test similar collision stuff in db classic and so can not comment on whether collision stuff is faster in dbpro but I guess it is if you are still having speed problems.

Have you downloaded pro demo and tried your code?

i don't know if DB has it but DBP does:
INTERSECT OBJECT
I found this well usefull for doing collision checks on bullets that needed to travel fast.
You give it X,Y,Z of your bullit, the X,Y,Z of where your bullit will end up, and the object no u checking if it hits. If no collision returns a zero - so your bullit can do next frame at full speed - if there is a collision it returns the distance from the bullit to the object.

I had trouble with DB's built in sliding collision, it totally ignored some objects sometimes. I would be sliding nicely over a few boxes, then I would fall through one. I tried to jump up the same way I came down and the box is solid again... Plus I could go straight through the side of most boxes as well... and these are only primative cubes made in DB
