It must be the first mistake you make when writing your first Rev program - at least, it was mine. On an old used donated celeron, I had written a script that went through several thousands of lines and extracted sub totals from tab delimited fields. As the file increased in size, the computation slowed down. I was of course doing it in fields. Finally when it was starting to take minutes, I put in a button that said 'just look at the report, don't redo it'! The things we think of!
In the end, I discovered that you should sum the subtotals into variables and then put the variables into the fields, and it became almost instant. So this seems like a very easy thing to test, just generate 20k lines of numbers and do some totals into fields and also alternatively into a variable and then put into the same fields. The difference in my experience on a slow machine was, literally, a matter of minutes. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/FYI-writing-to-and-reading-from-fields-much-faster-than-locals-globals-or-custom-properties-tp1559633p1560686.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
