Comparison of stamp vs pen down speed - With the stamp, I move it, change the size, change costume, change the colour and brightness - With the pen, I just move it and change the size.
On my computer: (repeats>5000) Pen downs per sec = 50,000 Stamped tris per sec =25,500 Result: stamping is 50% the speed of the pen, meaning in a tri fill algorithm 4 stamps is the same as doing 8 pen lines.
