The macros were timed for 5,000 repeats and * results divided by 5 to give time for 1,000 repeats. Results are * believed to be accurate and repeatable to +/- 1.0 second. * Seconds per * Macro Author Bytes 1,000 Repeats * ======= ======= ======= =============== * @7 GdB 12 18 (fastest) * @1 TH/JG 15 22 (maintain blocks) * @b MK 12 24 (slowest) * The command sequence inserted in @1 timing macro, as an example, is: * DupLine * CursorUp * DelCh * CursorDown * SplitLine * GetPrev * CursorUp * DelLine * JoinLine * CursorRight * DelCh * BEGLINE * DELCH * Additional tests were run on @7 and @b by selectively removing * commands to obtain that particular command's portion of the running * time. Commands removed were 'moveblock' in @7 and 'paste', then * 'cut' in @b. The other commands portion of running time were * estimated from the Relative Speed estimates in TIMER.SUM, along with * selected macro variations to get the best estimate possible. These * results are as follows: * -- Seconds per 1,000 Repeats -- * @7 @1 @b * GdB TH/JG MK * ----- ------ ------ * paste 13 (54%) * moveblock 9 (50%) * delch x 2 4 (18%) * delline 3 * markcolumn x 2 2 * cut 2 (17%) * markcharacter 2 * unmarkblock x 2 2 2 * cursorright x 3 2 2 * dupline 2 * splitline 2 * getprev 2 * cursorup x 2 2 * joinline 2 * cursordown 1 * cursorright 1 * timing macro overhead 3 3 3 * ---- ---- ---- * Total 18 22 24 * @1 is slower than @7 because of the additional size and the extra * steps using the splitline/joinline technique. If speed and size are * more important than maintaining marked blocks, @7 is the macro to * use. If maintaining block marking is more important, @1 is the macro * to use. I generally prefer, however, to write macros that maintain * marked blocks whenever possible as you can see from the effort John * Goodman and I put into optimizing @1 above and many other of our AMAC * macros. * It is interesting to note that the moveblock's time is about 2/3 as * fast as cut/paste (9 vs 15 secs). This must be in part do to the two * screen writes required for cut/paste vs one for moveblock. It is * also interesting to note that paste is about 50% slower than * moveblock (13 vs 9 secs). The reason for this with the inserted * commands necessary to test these swap macros is that in timing macro * @1, paste inserts the swapped character in the timing counter line, * thereby moving those characters to the right of the inserted * character that are not yet deleted one space right, and moveblock * does not. These results suggest moveblock be used whenever possible, * rather than cut/paste. * * ------------------------------------------ * @(8) Duplicate Remainder of Previous Line * John Goodman, Author * ------------------------------------------ * This macro will copy the contents of the line above the current * line from the cursor position forward. The macro works much like * entering the GetPrev command repeatedly, except that any * characters on the current line from the cursor position to the * end are deleted before the previous line is copied. * @8 MacroBegin DelToEOL * Delete remainder of current line CursorUp * Move to line above DupLine * Duplicate the line SplitLine * Split the line at the current cursor pos DelLine * Delete the beginning portion of the line DelLine * Delete the ending portion of the line CursorDown * Move below original line UnKill * Undelete the ending portion of the line CursorUp * Move back to original line JoinLine * Join the ending portion of previous line * * 14 bytes Tue 08-20-1991 17:15:58 (JG @8, changed from @3 by JG)
