program velocity

A little introduction.
I've choosen my nickname Hans Cadans, because I love playin' the drums.
Besides this I like designing digital circuits and I also wrote many programs (assembler, C++, basic)
For example I've written a program in EXCEL, which simulates counters, shiftregisters and LED's
I hope, you will forgive me, when I make some mistakes in writing English, for this is not my native language.
I'm from The Netherlands.
My question is as follows:
I guess, that every dot on the screen acts like a cell in a spreadsheet.
when the program calculates all the cells, every time in an endless loop, then my question makes no sense.
BUT, when the program calculates only those cells, which are associated with an input-pin, an output-pin,
or wich are at the corner of a broken line (I mean a not a straight connection), will this slow down the simulation.
If this is the case, will it be better to make straight connections.
In line of this, it will maybe better to make a few complex components than to make many simple components
I can also imagine, that the use of many splitters will also slow down the simulation.
Furthermore I thank you for the free use of your wonderfull program.
I've already spent many months on working with Logic Circuits. Maybe I have to confess, that I'm addicted to your program.
I designed most of the general circuits like multiplexers, demultiplexers, counters, ALU´s, HEX-keyboards and so on.
This moment I´ve finished a simple 8-bits computer (accumulator based) and a 16-bits computer (Harvard architecture).
In the future I hope to make a copy of the Z-80 processor, including the complete instruction-set, for I´ve studied this
processor in the eighties.
If someone is interested in having the basic circuits, I will upload these (with a clear explanation of their working) to this forum.
By the way. I saw some lovely solutions, but also some unexpected solutions. I would like to discuss these circuits.
best regards
Hans Cadans
