Much of what you've been saying has obvious errors in terminology, so it's possible that when you say "nested loops" or "compile time" you don't mean the same thing most of us understand by those words. It seems likely to me that your team's programmers were talking about long-running loops in the Teleop VI causing control lag or watchdog errors, and you simply misunderstood.

I looked on snopes and it agrees, nested loops in LV do not contribute to long compile times --totally a legend . Glad to have this one behind us.

Alan and Greg,
The poster appears to be talking from an FTC standpoint.

[Greg McKaskle]

FTC usage was definitely not something I'd picked up on, yet you would still need lots and lots of nesting to impact the compile time. I am happy to look into VIs that show otherwise.
