- One has to wonder, how the programmer did it, to make it soooo slow.
-
- A little speed competition:
-
- The Task:
- List C: (148 files) and DOWNLOADS: (323 files)
-
- The competitors:
- - Workbench 3.0 (list all files in text-only-mode)
- - ASL-Requester 3.0
- - DirOpus 4.11
- - an old (pre-2.0) self-made file requester (written in Assembler)
-
- results (used my wrist watch ;*)
-
- Workbench ASL DirOpus MyFr
-
- C: 22s 1s 2s <1s
-
- DOWNLOADS: 32s 5s 8s 4s
-
-
- Sometimes the ASL-Requester is extremely slow -- I suppose this depends
- on heavy disk fragmentation.
-
- But without any doubts WB needs some enhancement in this category!
