recent prog8 version creates better code, also linkedlist benchmark was added about millfork-benchmarks HOT 5 OPEN

Yes @zbyti that is necessary because the cpu is extremely register starved, and because of the c like expression trees that you can write in prog8. I have some vague ideas on how to improve that but that will require a total rewrite of the expression code generation....

@zbyti i've been making some progress on reducing the simulated eval-stack in prog8 lately

@irmen if I remember correctly you use stack a lot in prog8.

@irmen Cool, I'll check it out soon. Now I'm in a bit of a rush to release some simple A8 game on https://www.sillyventure.eu/en/ and after that I'll take a thorough look at the new changes.

I've just released Prog8 7.4.1, which results in quite different numbers on the benchmarks that make the graphs quite outdated:

• linkedlist $0117 = 279
• plasma $0e2d = 3629
• romsum $005e = 94
• sieve $0372 = 882

p.s. does still require PR #9 to be applied first because of some syntax changes in the past.

@KarolS are you still maintaining these lists?
