I didn't get replies to my previous question on this subject.
I'm trying to decide in designing a project whether to use feature
memory or a database for a commonly accessed buffer.
I'd like to know what kind of things the PalmOS actually does internally
when you do GetRecord / MemHandleLock / MemHandleUnlock / Release Record
to get a sense of just how slow the process really is.
I'm specifically wondering if there is any "searching" done in the
process, or any vector traps / processor state changes, etc, which would
be much slower than a few ifs, branches, and dereferences.
True, I could just apply to receive the actual PalmOS source code, but I
don't really need that level of detail. :)
Thanks for the insight!
