I just found out the text command is actually slow, I did some tests and well, 0.05 ms is too long :P

I see that people use bitmap fonts, thats good because of the custom fonts but, well, can it faster than the text command?

EDIT: I got a working command for this, time to optimize and do tests

I used bitmap fonts and Drawblock to good sucess. Use DrawImage only if you need to mask the characters.
