"LiveCode 8 is on average 3.5 times faster than LiveCode 7" I was very interested to see this claim as I had been hoping for better speeds in a text manipulation app I wrote.
After building a standalone with LC 8, I ran the same test file in the new LC8 standalone as a version I compiled in LC7. In LC7, the standalone processed the text file in 28 seconds. In the "much faster" LC8 version, the file took 38 seconds! What's up with that? This program only uses text manipulation—no graphics work at all—so it should have shown a substantial speed up, according to this quote on the LC website: "In LiveCode 8 we’ve completely rewritten our low level string and binary implementations for speed and performance." Needless to say, I was very surprised at this result. Has anyone seen similar (or contrary) results with text manipulation? -- Regards, Howard Bornstein ----------------------- www.designeq.com _______________________________________________ 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
