Thanks to Mark Waddingham's advice about using a buffer var when accumulating
a large text variabel in stages, I've now got a script that took 8 hours under
LC9, and (8 minutes under LC6) down by stages to just under 1 hour under LC9.
However I have some remaining issues not amenable to this approach; of which
the most significant relates to the sort command.
In all cases it seems to take much longer under LC9 than it did under LC6;
although the factor is quite variable. The most dramatic is one instance, in
which this statement:
sort lines of tNewTable by item iSortCol of each
takes 35 minutes to execute. `tNewTable` is a variable consisting of some
223,000 lines of text; approx 70MB. The exact same statement with the same
data on the same computer in LC6 takes just 1 second.
Has anyone else noticed something of this sort? As I said, the effect varies:
e.g. 54 seconds versus 1 second; 22 seconds versus 1 second. So it may not be
so noticeable in all cases.
TIA,
Ben
