PB4 Beta 6 is Scorching HOT ! !

NOW I GET OVER FIVE TIMES FASTER

Program launch, data loaded and ready to go 2 1/2 times faster.

Here's the rest of the story...
I have a rather complex search routine for scanning text files. A LOT of string comparison and proximity relationship operations along with having to read in the data from disk. It now cranks out results over 5 times faster than before.

@Fred ... Problem with program launch just came to my attention. My search runs over 5 times faster. My program only loads 2 1/2 times faster. Only 2 1/2 times faster Fred! ! ! Something wrong with that

(kidding Fred ... just kidding)

@GedB ... not worried about the 30k. Libraries have changed and I'm sure its give and take. Just came out weighing a little heavier than before because of Fred's optimization and the code that I use. That 2 1/2 to 5 plus speed increase cannot come without a price. 30k is a damn small price I think.

PB Be Scorchin'

(and remember ... it's only beta ... sha-na-na-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na-na)

Just use the NT4 subsystem, and you're done.

Yeppers, it really does help to print the docs out and read them

because of "all the bugs" that people keep noting in this and several other threads, take a look at what they fail to mention.

I've said before, that Fred should be called "The Exterminator". Competitors could learn a lot from Fred about actually fixing bugs.
