Re: Slow memory allocation
Hello again,
Im not sure if i replied to the correct post, so here's the post i meant
to reply to:

Your system is faster than mine and has more memory so i would have
expected it to read the file faster than on mine, and mine reads
a 2,900,000+ byte file in about a second.
I tried a non-bindw'd .exw file and it was the same, and i tried
the .exw file with Version 2.5 of Euphoria (PD Beta version) and
it was the same, about one second to read the whole file into
the sequence.
What i would do is try that exact code fragment (in the previous post)
without the parse line and see if it works faster. If not, i would
wonder if you have any active virus software or the page file was
moved by a non-Windows disk manager.
If it does in fact speed up, then perhaps you should do your parsing
AFTER the whole file is read into the sequence.
I've been using Euphoria for several years now and i've had my
editor up and running for most of them, and it's always been fast
even though im using 'append' to store the lines in the sequence.
Pete Lomax recently started a new editor which uses basically the
same technique and that is about the same speed (fast). This makes
me think something else is wrong.
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
