Might be quicker in Bmax if you use writestream/readstream into a TStream rather than use integer handles. You should really be setting superstrict as well and, perhaps, setting local scope.
It saves about 500ms on my system. Haven't got B3D available at the moment to check.

SuperStrict

Global pix_r:Byte[2001,2001]
Global pix_g:Byte[2001,2001]
Global pix_b:Byte[2001,2001]

Local te:Int=MilliSecs()
Local file:tstream=WriteStream("bla.txt")
Local maxx:Int=2000

For Local nx:Int=0 To maxx
For Local ny:Int=0 To maxx
	WriteByte file,pix_r[nx,ny]
	WriteByte file,pix_g[nx,ny]
	WriteByte file,pix_b[nx,ny]
Next
Next

CloseStream file
Print (MilliSecs()-te)

Local te1:Int=MilliSecs()
Local file1:tstream=ReadStream("bla.txt")

For Local nx1:Int=0 To maxx
For Local ny1:Int=0 To maxx
	pix_r[nx1,ny1]=ReadByte(file1)
	pix_g[nx1,ny1]=ReadByte(file1)
	pix_b[nx1,ny1]=ReadByte(file1)

If you are going to all that effort to save it.. why not use a bank ?

Local maxx:Int=2001

Local bank:TBank = CreateBank(maxx * maxx * 3)

For Local nx:Int=0 Until maxx

	Local nxp:Int = nx * (maxx * 3)

	For Local ny:Int=0 Until maxx

		bank.pokebyte(nxp + ny, pix_r[nx,ny])
		bank.pokebyte(nxp + ny + 1, pix_g[nx,ny])
		bank.pokebyte(nxp + ny + 2, pix_b[nx,ny])

. scrub that. It doesn't work properly.

Hi,

Stream operations in Max will be a little slower than in b3d, mainly because they are far more flexible.

The best solution is to try and write at much as possible at once - eg: instead of writing the pixels of a pixmap one at a time, write entire rows.

If you really need more speed and are only interested in reading/writing files, you might want to look at fopen_, fread_, fwrite_, fclose_ etc in the Pub.StdC module.

Thanks!
