It seems that my function block “Farver Kolonne 1” is not executed sequentially for each loop in the Count with j loop. Could it be true that the execution is not waiting for “Farver Kolonne 1” to return in each loop, before continuing the loop? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/1/7108ad6b200d09e90b09fccf4f6e12e6908ccf28.png) Hereunder is the “Farver Kolonne 1” function block refered to above. Is it a problem with 3 count with block inside eachother??? They are about 10 to 16 count each. The execution takes several minutes. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/d/4d8dddce7107cd81e823680a49ff7682bf15a79b.png) Its working but takes way to long time to execute. ---

Purple asynchronous blocks are not required to run sequentially. ---

Dont anyone have a comment to the slow execution for these blocks. It takes so long time to execute. Please ---

I now have tested this isue. But no matter what I do the time to clone 50 empty button in af row takes almost 1 minute inside my ap. I du this as the first thing when the screen opens. If I make a new app with the same block to copyin a row it works fine and is very fast. What can slow this function so mutch in my app The strange is that it is the first thing I do… On the picture i start repeating the clone block as the first thing. But it takes almost a minute to clone. It work the same way without the timer… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/0/b038bf01a9d08caedd416a93827ae3c615e6fa55.png) ---

Why do you use button cloning in a timer? What is this opens function? It seems to me that you are doing something wrong, so it turns out 1 minute. Turn off all blocks on the screen and only clone 50 buttons when opening the screen. The “tom” component is a button? Do you use “Starts” block or only “Opens”? Maybe the timer is cyclical? ---

that was a test regarding to the link you sent earlier. But that didnt work. But now I found out that wit a little wait on 0.01Sec in the cloning block help a lot. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/8/48dd0a402d6f5c85ae7f9741a96a8373bde9c9f7.png) But now i like to know if it is not possible to have more count inside each other like this. Becaus it seems like it stays inside the Count with X block and dont count the I and J block. How can I solve that? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/1/7189659bd3458f660f60dddeb62d49543cd9d924.png) ---

Unfortunately, I can only say one thing - in correctly working blocks, you do not need to use a delay block. If a delay block is required for the blocks to work correctly, then either there is an error in the algorithm or there is a problem in the platform core. Unfortunately, at the moment I see a problem in the platform core and for this reason I stopped any consultation before fixing it. Using delay blocks to solve problems with the operation of blocks leads to the creation of unstable applications, and as a programmer, I do not see the point in creating such applications. ---

> [@actech](#): > > Unfortunately, at the moment I see a problem in the platform core and for this reason I stopped any consultation before fixing it Actually it is not the delay block i worrie abboud. But I dont get out of the Count X block. Do you have a work around for that??? When you write " Unfortunately, at the moment I see a problem in the platform core and for this reason I stopped any consultation before fixing it" Is that correct that it is a problem on your side that you will fix?? ---

> Actually it is not the delay block i worrie abboud. But I dont get out of the Count X block. Do you have a work around for that??? Let’s take it in order. I see the “wait” block in your blocks. Why do I need it in a properly compiled algorithm? Do you use this block to make the app run slower? Personally, I can’t give an example of the need to use the “wait” block in applications. Second. If you do not exit the x loop, then you need to make a minimum number of blocks to check what it turns out. There are only two possible errors: either an error in your algorithm, or a bug in the system. > When you write " Unfortunately, at the moment I see a problem in the platform core and for this reason I stopped any consultation before fixing it" > Is that correct that it is a problem on your side that you will fix?? I am not a developer of Thunkable X and for this reason the problem can’t be on my side. After several recent updates to thunkable X, I came across the fact that for the block to work correctly, it is necessary to use the delay block. From my point of view, this is a big problem. (First) the Blocks must work reliably without any delays, or if the blocks do not have time to perform the operation. then you need a (Second)block event, which can be used to determine the successful completion of the operation. This is not the case, and I do not know how to create reliable applications in such conditions. ---

Why do I need it in a properly compiled algorithm? Do you use this block to make the app run slower? Personally, I can’t give an example of the need to use the “wait” block in Arrrh okay. I just saw the leader on your icon Ans assumed you where leader at Thunkable. No then it is not your problem. Thanks for your reply. ---
