don't know if anyone is interested, but in the same vein, I've been living
for years with the idea that variables organized as items were faster to
process than variables organized as words, but lately I discovered that
wordoffset is actually faster than itemoffset .
Examples (tested on my old PC under XP with Rev 2.5) :
put "toto tata titi tete" into myVar
put the milliseconds into tt
repeat 100000 times
if wordoffset("tete",ref) > 0 then
end if
end repeat
put the milliseconds - tt
-- returns a value between 103 and 110
put "toto,tata,titi,tete" into myVar
put the milliseconds into tt
repeat 100000 times
if itemoffset("tete",ref) > 0 then
end if
end repeat
put the milliseconds - tt
-- returns a value between 130 and 136
wordoffset seems to be 15 to 20% faster, which is a lot IMHO...
I agree 15-20% seems significant - but I get almost exactly the opposite
results from that test :-)
I get itemoffset returning times around 52-54, while wordoffset gives
around 43-44 - suggesting itemoffset is around 20% slower.
