Good summary, Kem! Very interesting stuff. I'm pleased RB *can* be as fast or faster than Perl, though it may take some optimizations to get there. One other observation: I tested this final code against your original on my MacBook and got very different results: 65 and 72 seconds respectively (old vs. new). Not much difference. This was within the IDE which is known to be slower so I built an application and ran that and got results closer to yours: 13.6 and 65 seconds (new/old). My conclusion: if you're testing optimizations, be sure you use a built app! I knew IDE apps were slower but I would have expected both results to be similarly effected. Instead the old method only got a few seconds better compiled as an app while the new method was dramatically faster compiled. I've no idea why, but it's interesting. -- Marc Zeedar Publisher REALbasic Developer Magazine http://www.rbdeveloper.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
