Using a file append rather than putting data after a variable:
4min 57sec using a variable (put)
4min 31sec using a file (write)
Just curious, did you open the file "for write" or open it "for append"?
I'd think it would make a difference. If it is opened for append, you
don't need to specify that the write should be at the end, it will
happen automatically. I'd think it would be faster, but I'm not sure.
So, reading from a field makes no difference
If you are reading from the field only once before the repeat loop, it
wouldn't matter. But if the read is in the middle of the loop, it should
be very much slower. I can't remember now which you are doing, but
accessing fields is known to be one of the slowest things you can do
inside a loop. (I vaguely recall you aren't doing that.)
I'm curious about the file writing though, I'm always looking for ways
to speed up scripts.
