Can anyone who know how to write code write a little program that compares engine RPM during each pistons compression stroke?

If the cylinder is low on compression the piston will move faster than the rest.

Wouldn't it be easier to just measure the compression with a compression tester?

I know I keep coming up with the idea's to make things easier (To find out engine health), Just beating around the bush if you will. But yeah you are right measuring compression with a gauge is the best way. But the above method could be done in five minutes with a computer VS a few hours with tools.
