RE: Difference between Select and Omit in LF

Charles,

I don't think it has anything to do with the testing procedure: I create
the 'select' LF, log off, log back on, call the program, and it takes a
looooong time to display.

Then I compile the 'omit' version, log off, back on, call the program, and
'poof', there's the data within one second.

Curiouser and curiouser (I think Alice said something like this).

Peter

RE: Difference between Select and Omit in LF






Peter,

That's really interesting.....

I'm wondering if there's some problem in your testing procedure.  For
instance, do you always run the 'select' version before the 'omit'
version.
Thus the omits gets to take advantage of the data already being in memory.


I know I've seen some instructions before somewhere on how to do
performance
comparisons.  Don't remember any specifics, but it did mention clearing
out
memory pools between runs.

HTH,
Charles
