I agree, as I said in the previous, the Loop within Witango is really slow, at first I thought it was due to manipulating the data from the database, but this exercise bring the point out more clearly for me.
The reason for changing the function to math had nothing to do with the looping issue; It was just one of my many "I am going to figure this if it takes me all night" This helper is cool :-) Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com -Authorized WiTango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm -Authorized Alt-N Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm -----Original Message----- From: Robert Garcia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 04, 2003 1:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: A Real Test (Was Boosting ...) If you are going to use the divide by week algorithm, I think you would have to figure a way to count leap years. But I digress, I never intended to have the best method for counting weekdays. I am just looking for ways to process data quicker on witango, especially with data intensive operations and loops. Your initial algorithm was a great example to duplicate and test my thoughts, comparing apples to apples. In that example, passing the process off to the RB App was 100x faster. That is a chunk of change. I heard back from Witango support and hopefully I will get some more info on java beans, but I don't see that as a long term solution for me. But then again, I will make that decision when I see how it performs, and how easily I can pass data back and forth, and build java classes. The reason I would like to figure a way to integrate Witango and RB, is that I have built a huge framework with RB, and I have created a ton of reusable methods and classes that range from datamining to image manipulation to text parsing xml parsing creation, and the list goes on. Imagine a user uploading an image, and the image passed over to the helper and scaled, thumbed and shadowed, and either passed back, or placed at a desired location extremely fast. My methods use the Quicktime API, so they are fast and optimized for each platform. And you don't have to deal with imageMagick. There are many other uses. Right now I am working on compiling some intensive reports through a web interface. They currently choke witango, but If I pass the process to the RB helper, I can get it done. Anyway, time for bed, happy 4th. Robert.
