Why does putting code in a for loop make it faster?

I have the feeling I am failing to understand something very basic here, but here goes anyway:

I noticed while working on a few sketches, that when the code works very slow,

cranking the frameRate up doesn't make it faster after a certain point.

But if I place the whole code inside draw and place it in a for loop with, say, a hundred repetitions,

it runs *drastically* faster.

I am trying to understand exactly why that happens but I can't quite get it.

I am guessing the for loop acts as some kind of buffer?

Thanks,

Recording video from webcam and using it as a Movie object

I have researched the forums and didn't find a decisive solution for this problem:

I want to record a few videos (each 5 seconds long or so) from a webcam,

at the beginning of the sketch,

and then later use these videos multiple times in later parts of the sketch.

Is there an efficient way to do that in realtime?

Thanks,

vertigo5.
