I'm wondering if anyone has benchmarked 7.0 performance? I did two quick tests and found:
on mouseUp put the long seconds into T repeat with i = 1 to 20000000 put "A" && "aa" into X end repeat put the long seconds - T end mouseUp Took almost 5x as long to run as on 6.7, which I expected since it's presumably doing UTF things under the hood. But I also found: on mouseUp put the long seconds into T repeat with i = 1 to 20000000 end repeat put the long seconds - T end mouseUp Took about 1.5x as long to run on 7.0 as on 6.7. Obviously our own code is still a much larger factor -- "repeat for each" in 7.0 is still going to handily beat "repeat with" in 6.7 for processing large chunks of text, etc. gc _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
