After a bit of a ponder this should be about as fast as you can get
without putting multiple statements on one line ..
1 GOTO 5
2 WAIT A,D,D
3 POKE B, PEEK(C)
4 GOTO 2
5 A=61456
6 B=61441
7 C=61457
8 D=1
9 GOTO 2
.. if multiple statements per line are allowed then this should be
faster ..
1 A=61456:B=61441:C=61457:D=1
2 WAIT A,D,D:POKE B,PEEK(C):GOTO 2

Hi
As Lee shows, not having to interpret the numbers each time
should speed things up. Reading decimal numbers requires
division. That is just about the slowest thing the computer can
do. If the values are stored in variables, they are already converted
to a computer friendly format.
Another thought is that your PC may not be keeping up with
9600. You might slow it to 1200 and see what happens.
