Well, I am condensing a lot of multiline handlers into single lines
now :-)

Josh, I just saw the same thing on a bunch of audio files - and that
was just doing:
get url ("binfile:" & tFile))
add length(it) to total
and then
add length(url ("binfile:" & tFile)) to total
version 2 was twice as fast as version 1, just as you observed.
Maybe, in version 1, when the the engine reads the file, it's read
into a buffer which is then copied into the variable 'it' which
takes time, whereas in version 2, the work is done on the contents
of the buffer.
?
Best,
Mark

Running the following code (in a loop):
get URL ("binfile:" & tLocal)
put the base64encode of the md5digest of it into tLocalMD5
on 103 files (most of them 10 - 30 MB QT files):
- took 6 minutes
- slowed the whole computer to a crawl- really hard to access
email, browser, etc.
However, changing this code to this single line:
put the base64encode of the md5digest of (URL ("binfile:" &
tLocal)) into tLocalMD5
- took 3 minutes
- computer was responsive, other apps behaved fairly normally
One theory being circulated is that the first block of code had to
load the entire file (a 20 MB QT movie, for example) into memory,
whereas the second read the file from the disk.
My theory is that we have gone mad, or there are leprechauns.
Which is it?
