I tested my own MSVAR package on gretl 2022b against today's snapshot,
but for a certain specification I did not see any performance gain,
I've tested the MSVAR sample script, and found a time-saving of about
30 percent with the current code versus 2022b: not super-dramatic, but
noticeable. This was on two i7 machines, one old and one reasonably
current. The proportional speed differential was very similar in the
two cases.
