Excerpt of article text...
This new column covers REALbasic (RB) performance optimization strategies to help you optimize the speed, resource requirements, and usability of your REALbasic applications. Each column shows you some tips, tricks, and techniques to speed up your Mac, Windows, and Linux applications.
Choosing the correct combination of keywords and syntax is optimization, and as a developer you only really have control over the code you write. Other factors such as network or disk are also common factors in REALbasic application performance. Most REALbasic applications are slowed by the actual processing speed of the code you have written. Even so, you can often find many points in your application where the speed of your code is the controlling factor, especially for routines that are called frequently or in loops. There are no less than eight ways to program a loop in Basic (Goto, Do...Loop, Do While...Loop, Do Until...Loop, Do...Loop While, Do...Loop Until, While...Wend and For...Next). Which one is fastest? The answer? It depends!
