Hello, try to append the result to a file, it's a lot faster :
Caution: My limited experience with appending to log files is that
the
larger the file size, the slower the append.
I guess this must have to do with how much RAM is available vs how
much disc space is needed.
I just did this benchmark (with some nonce data):
on toFile
put
"10000,10001,10002,10003,10004,10005,10006,10007,10008,10009,100010"
into tStr
put the tempName into tFile
open file tFile for append
set cursor to watch
put the millisecs into tStart
repeat 1000000
write tStr & cr to file tFile
end repeat
close file tFile
put URL ("file:" & tFile) into tOutput
delete file tFile
put the millisecs - tStart
end toFile
on toVariable
put
"10000,10001,10002,10003,10004,10005,10006,10007,10008,10009,100010"
into tStr
set cursor to watch
put the millisecs into tStart
repeat 1000000
put tStr & cr after tOutput
end repeat
put the millisecs - tStart
end toVariable
tOutput ends up at 67MB in both cases, and 'toFile' took just over 5
seconds, whereas 'toVariable' took just over 40 seconds.
This is on a Mac PBG4 with 768MB RAM.
This could be useful to know when building up large lists.
Best,
