kjactive Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) one could also reduce memory use by cut off all unitiated msg returns right in the start of a while/end like this... While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg(1) Select Case $msg[1] = 0 // cut off non initiated returns Case $msg[1] = $MainWin Case etc. Endselect In this manner your script do not have to evaluate all the unnessesary zeros doing all the CASE entries... kjactive Edited October 1, 2005 by kjactive Au3PP 4.1 - Autoit3 preprocessor, optimize speed, performance to scripts and do executes....[/url]Au3Calibur - Create libraries of commonly used code excerptsWords manipulate UDF, functions that is lent from the rexx language, topics and index file includedCustomDialog UDF to include custom made dialogs like a extended colorpick requester to scripts...[url="ftp://fritidshjemmet.com/Autoit3/SysColor.zip"]SysColor UDF a low level color library to manipulate RGB and Hex values...Shell32 UDF to Automate Windows® operating tasks from native dialog and Wizards browsers...

kjactive Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) alienkillaz is talking about 'reducing cpu usage' and that's not the same as memory reduce. CPU do in normal conditions not use any memory while memory use a little CPU to hold a program in memory but the actually calculations is done by the cpu and in any other languages when there is nothing going on, the 'cpu sleeps' so to speak... Autoit3 gui has another way to work and a problematic cpu use as autoit tics ( returns a message ) at 250 times a second as default ( can be changed ) even if there is nothing going on and that's to update all the automatically functions like to catch external lists etc. but if one has a while / WEnd script with lots of Cases to evaluate this would take up some CPU usage to evaluate well quiet a lot actually and If one has two or three scripts going on at the same time - the cpu could reatch near a limit border... That's why I catch all uninitiated msg message returns right at the beginning so the script do not has to read and evaluate any unnessasary tics and save some cpu time... Autoit3 gui works in most conditions but one has to be carefully planning CPU usage to be shure to unvoide problems or conflickts in future, I say anyway... kjactive Edited October 1, 2005 by kjactive Au3PP 4.1 - Autoit3 preprocessor, optimize speed, performance to scripts and do executes....[/url]Au3Calibur - Create libraries of commonly used code excerptsWords manipulate UDF, functions that is lent from the rexx language, topics and index file includedCustomDialog UDF to include custom made dialogs like a extended colorpick requester to scripts...[url="ftp://fritidshjemmet.com/Autoit3/SysColor.zip"]SysColor UDF a low level color library to manipulate RGB and Hex values...Shell32 UDF to Automate Windows® operating tasks from native dialog and Wizards browsers...
