LJ has lots of small delays BB doesn't have, no way possible it's faster.

"all forms of tetris"

Why isn't LJ the fastest?  Some people complain about freezes happening on BB, and yet Maserati uses it to get the fastest times.  Does BB have all the customization options that LJ has, and what makes it any faster than LJ?

LockJaw unfortunately does not have "true zero" line clear delay. Since it doesn't recurse the game loop on zero line clear, there is one frame of line clear delay at the minimum. Not only that, BlockBox seems to have what I'll call a "true zero" minimum lock delay -- or maybe some people will consider it "negative one frame" of lock delay? According to Edo, it appears that the next piece is spawned on the same frame that a piece is hard dropped, making the process of locking the current piece take up no additional time; the active piece is locked and the new piece becomes active in that same frame, so you could perform any action other than lock the new piece immediately. When you press a key to lock a piece, you can immediately begin moving the next one. If you're using the 8-way input mode properly, I guess you could save a frame on the placement for every piece going in the same direction on the same DAS charge. Theoretically, you could shave up to ~1.67 seconds off of your 40 lines if you were able to take advantage of those instantaneous piece locks for every piece.
