Spark Core Interface

I have programed a Run Basic interface for the Spark Core (arduino-like controller) Example Remote Spark Web App. It works using cURL though the Shell$ command but is SLOOOW. Here is an ajax example for Spark Core. Is their a faster way with Runbasic to talk to the controller? Sorry for the sloppy coding, only programing classes I've had were on Apple II in the early 1980's. :)

P.S.- I'll have the board running for the next few days if anyone want to play with the code.

Forgot to say it should take as long as 15 seconds for program to start up.
