AutoIT or Windows - Internal Resources like CPU / Memory

Good Morning AutoIT Geniuses!  :sorcerer:

Maybe this question is answered somewhere already... but I'm looking to ramp up the priority or "speed" of my exe's.

So, I've been experimenting and I don't see a huge increase in completion regardless of the processor or memory I use.

Sure, if I increase the memory I don't run out of memory, but if I increase memory - things relatively stay the same... why is that?

In another scenario for instance, I put the exe on a Dell server w/ 24 GB of ram and several quad core Xeon cpu's and the time to execute was relatively the same...

Oh, and the CPU never spiked or went above 5%... even after I stepped up it's priority. >_<

That seemed impossible - so I'm asking - is AutoIT mostly responsible for system resources used or is it on Windows? I used WIndows 7 x64 and Windows Server 2012.

Clueless as to what the guts are behind AutoIT and how Windows hands the exe's resources or how AutoIT "tells" Windows how to handle it's resources.

This day in age, we have quad cores +++ and then some... so this app should be screaming fast - it's not like I'm playing Crysis in 8K - haha, lol.

:laser:

Thanks for moving my topic but I typically would never tread anywhere near the dev chat... not my territory at all, but fitting nonetheless. Thanks.

Needs multi-threading support and address reservations - the best Autoit can do is change a thread/executable priority by it's 'Nice' level.

Well, it's definitely not Windows. =) AutoIt was never built with the intention to be fast. It is built to be flexible, portable and convenient for a particular use case. That doesn't mean automatically AutoIt is to blame for your speed problem, but it's not exactly helping you there either.

The speed of your program depends on what you're doing in your AutoIt code. Perhaps you're going about solving your problem very inefficiently and you can improve that. In order of us to help with that, you will have to share some more details about what exactly it is that you're doing.

If you've definitely ruled out that your program is simply inefficient, you can consider offloading harder tasks into a AutoIt loadable dll written in a language such as C++. It's also a consideration to write everything in another language, which won't solve your efficiency problem, but might make it less of a problem. If you're not already familiar in another language ideal for this purpose, I wouldn't recommend this as a potential starting point.

      Deleting a Zipped folder
      By greichert
      I am running the following code:
      DirRemove("C:\Desktop\Install.zip",1) I don't receive an error but the folder is not deleted. If i run this same script on a non zipped folder it works fine. Does DirRemove not work for zipped files? If not is there a way to delete them?

      How to sort Data in an Array
      By Haselnuzz
      Hi and Hello from a Noob..:-)
      i have a very weird problem. I fill up a 2d array with a)numbers and b)letters from A-Z, so 2 columns. This works absolutely perfect. But as soon as i try to sort them (numbers ascending) the array ends up in some kind of "String-sortation". What exactly am i doin wrong? To make it easy, i post below the piece of code, which i am talking about. Hope that someone can help me out.
      Func Analyse()
          Local $BasisArray[0]
          Local $aFill = "A" & "|B" & "|C" & "|D" & "|E" & "|F" & "|G" & "|H" & "|I" & "|J" & "|K" & "|L" & "|M" & "|N" & "|O" & "|P" & "|Q" & "|R" & "|S" & "|T" & "|U" & "|V" & "|W" & "|X" & "|Y" & "|Z"
          _ArrayAdd ($BasisArray, $afill)
          Local $FreqArray[0][2]=[[]]
       
          $row = 0

          For $i = 0 to 25
       
              $fummel = _ArrayToString ($BasisArray, ":" , $row, $row)
              $readout = _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetText ($hRichEdit)
              $anzAs = stringreplace ($readout, $fummel, $fummel)
              $extended = @extended
              $FreqFill = $extended & "|" & $fummel
              _ArrayAdd($FreqArray, $FreqFill)
       
              $row = $row + 1
          Next
          _ArrayDisplay($FreqArray, "2D - Item delimited")
          _ArraySort($FreqArray)
          _ArrayDisplay($FreqArray, "bla")
       
       
      Thanks for helping me,
       
      Cheers,

      Run exe on a remote server
      By greichert
      I am running an exe, that copies a seperate exe (test123.exe)from my computer and puts it onto a remote server "testserver". Everything  works fine up to this point. I need to run this copied exe (test123.exe) on "testserver" but it keeps running on my computer instead. The code I am using to run the exe is below. What am I doing wrong? How can I get this executable to run on the remote server and not my home computer?
      RunWait( "\\testserver.domain.com\c$\user1\greichert\Desktop\InstallEXE\InstallEXE\test123.exe","\\testserver.domain.com\c$\Users\user1\Desktop\InstallEXE\InstallEXE");run exe

      Stop Windows service on another server.
      By greichert
      I am trying to stop a windows service on a separate server than where my script is running. When I run the following script on the same server as the service I need to stop, it works fine. 
      RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c net stop FascetAgentfv2", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE);stop agent But when I change "@ScriptDir" to ""\\newserver\c$\Program Files\test\" and run it on my server nothing happens. I tried to error handle and all it was returning was "2". Any suggestions?
