Halogen 10 is now out! https://github.com/KierenP/Halogen/releases/tag/v10

I’m not sure how the compiler does this but it might be doing some magic optimising the code that reads in the network into the float arrays. Considering that stuff can be determined at compile time it’s not ...

Hi Gabor, yes this was my mistake :( I updated the exe's but I don't think I can retroactively change the source to display 'Halogen 9' on startup. I hope this doesn't bother people too much.
