Okay with the text addon i got maybe 1 or 2 fps increase (now at 3 or 4) using the edited version given in that post, and with itoa i sometimes get 1 extra. heres my edited source, i can figure out for the life of me how to get text on top like I want without sacrificing speed(I only lose speed when the mouse is moving btw which makes me think its the get image part)

also with itoa my mouse x variable displays a letter now so it can say like 20a or 150b mostly only a's and b's tho
Show me your combat algorithms(programmers read this NOT in a programming state of mind)
