Well, there isn't much to add. Witch one takes the most loading time? The textprint or the sprite?

if you gonna have less than, lets say 10 different texts, you may consider using sprites.
the textprint takes a lot of loading time, but then you can write whatever you want (using a script, ofcourse).
make time tests.

TextPrint:
About 30 sprites take the same loading time as 1 TextPrint

yeah DillonPICL, you're right. I tested it. If you want text that doesn't need to change, you better use a sprite. But is the loading time longer with 100 words in a textprint then 1?

Never mind, I tested it. I doesn't matter what you put in the textprint. It doesn't affect the loading time.

the textprint dosnt load the words, it load the letters and numbers, so then you can write whatever you want in real time... you can change it's text using iObjectTextSet() or iPrint() script functions.
