Ooooh, good find! I just ran a quick test:
on mouseUp
put 100000 into n
--
put the millisecs into t
repeat n
put Foo1() into r2
end repeat
put the millisecs - t into t1
--
put the millisecs into t
repeat n
put Foo2() into r2
end repeat
put the millisecs - t into t2
--
put t1 && t2
end mouseUp
function Foo1
return "Hello"
end Foo1
private function Foo2
return "Hello"
end Foo2
Result:
95 49
As with speed differences with the various forms of "repeat", this is
also somewhat intuitive once you pause and think about it, given the
variety of ways public handlers can be accessed and the extremely narrow
scope of private routines.
But even then, I must admit that the speed difference is larger than I
could have anticipated. I would imagine that a handler in the same
script as the caller would be faster than having it just about any other
place, but to limit its scope trims the execution time by a surprising
amount.
I think my new habit is to declare everything as private unless I know I
need it available to other scripts.
Thanks again. Excellent discovery.
