Icon's disk access (at least on the Windows platform) is pretty darn
fast, no doubt about it. But just in case there are ways to improve
it... are there? I'm primarily interested in improving the random
access speed. If I buffer the input when reading straight through a
file I can get a 20-25% increase in performance, but buffering when
you're reading all over the file would probably slow down the
performance.
Any ideas on improving Icon's random disk access short of using an
external C library?
Thanks,
Jonathan Leger
