OMG 5ms, what’s up with that? That’s a lifetime with code like this. Or code in general. What a disaster mess, why would anyone use blocks for anything. With that huge overhead I’m suprised that robots programed with blocks don’t just twitch across the field.

This reminds me of the initial battles with Java vs C or C++ “How can an interpreted language be fast enough to do anything”. And here we are today with millions of enterprise systems running on Java.
Edited to add that in this thread,
towards the end of it is a post about implementation in Scratch, and a comment around delays in the calc loop that 7ms was a good number for the particular robot they were working on.
