That helped a lot! Thanks.
It only works in the GUI though, running in terminal mode - as my Pi Zero does, it made zero difference; it took 6 minutes 47 to get from start to exit with me waiting to type in F1 to pick the screen, any key to exit BOOT, then kill_uqlx to exit.
In the GUI though, it's miles better.
So, that solved my first problem, now, how do I get it to use the flipping internationalisation settings for a GB keyboard? Do you know? Everything else I run uses the correct settings, but sQLux seems to think it's using a US keyboard. I get an '@' sign when I want a double quote etc. (I'm not au-fait enough with SDL to figure it out yet.)
I haven't handled keymaps yet, it does a raw keycode->QL keymap, and PC keycodes are USA based.
I assume by terminal mode you mean running over X forwarding, SDL handles that particularly badly.
One of the reasons uQlx is faster is that it knowns when screen is damaged and only updates those peices. So its something I plan to try.

Keyboard: Ok, understood.
Terminal mode: I login to the Pi directly. Not over ssh - unlees I've bolloxed the login by using the full GL thingy! Pi boots to command line, not to GUI. I run startx if I need GUI.
Appreciate the info, as ever, thanks.
Cheers,
Norm.

Wow that means writing to fbdev on Pi0 is insanely slow compared to writing to X11, odd considering X11 is obviously writing to the fbdev!

A follow up to this, I now have the Pi0 version of sQLux running at reasonable speed on the framebuffer (without X11), I'm just tracking down the last couple of bugs in my code and Ill send an update to github!
