> Are there any recent comparative performance tests available? Every database will perform differently based on how it is written. Some commands are compiled directly to machine code in these they may execute up to 100x faster, others require calls to the 4D engine. Some will have no improvement such as a query.
Compiling does not speed up network, or database operations, so the speed advantage is only seen in method execution (code that is not DB operations). Things like sort array won't speed either up unless you rolled your own sort, the 4D commands internally run at compiled speeds. Loops and things where you modify variables or arrays will greatly speed up. I think it is good to write/make code so it can be compiled no matter how you decide to execute the code in production. The compiler catches a lot of programming mistakes that are easy to fix once you know where they are. So if you adopt that philosophy then you could run it compiled and weigh the differences.
