Summary of Timing Results For Different Commands
July 10, 1991
Written by Tom Hogshead
==================================================
Many QEdit commands were timed using macros @1 and @2 to compare
command's relative speeds. Please be aware that the actual speeds
of these commands, as can be estimated from Relative Speeds,
depends on many factors, eg macro in which these commands are
used, system hardware and software, etc. Faster machines will
give faster results, but the Relative Speed order ranking of
commands timed should be approximately the same on different
machines.
My conclusions are based solely only on the timing tests I
conducted on specific command sequences. I am not attempting to
make a determination of the absolute speed of QEdit. Although
limited by my inability to measure any command's speed without
some synergism with other commands and the testing system, I
believe these conclusions, as they relate to speeds of specific
command sequences timed, are accurate and valid in this
necessarily limited context.
Relative Speeds were calculated dividing actual timed speeds by
0.00045 seconds per repeat (the speed for the fastest commands
I timed, gotoblockbeg and cursorleft at column 1; these two
commmands, when inserted seperately in the timing macro @1,
always test false because the cursor remains in column 1 and no
blocks remain marked during @1 timing loop).
Relative Speeds for all commands timed are shown in Table I
(alphebetical order) and Table II (ascending order); Table III
shows the actual inserted command sequences timed (column 1),
"macro" time (column 2), "run" time (column 3), and calculated
time per 1,000 repeats for the inserted command sequences in
column 4. Table III is included in case the reader wishes to
delve further and observe how commands were timed.
