Huge arrays - speed problems? - Page 2

Fabian

Are there any speed issues in javascript with having really large
arrays? I know if the array gets large enough, bandwidth and download
time can be an issue, but does it take inordinate amounts of time to
access a really large array?

Doesnt make much difference... Is your array in MBs or GBs :) wont be..
so no need to have any worry for large arrays... we have bandwidth these
days... dsl/cable/t1... why should one have speed issues.

That's rather a limited point of view; perhaps you are new to the
business? BTW, I don't think that number works from most telephones. A
communications firm should know about communication.

(A) Many users still have dial-up POTS connections, sometimes pay-by-
the-minute.

(B) Some users have portables, with low-bandwidth radio links.

(C) Since Javascript is a more-or-less general-purpose language, one can
perfectly use arrays whose contents have been generated by local
computation, and have not been transmitted in detail over the Internet.
Note : the OP was specifically referring to accessing large arrays.

Huge project - long build time

by: cody | last post by:

We have a huge project, the solutuion spans 50 projects growing. Everytime I want to start the project I have to wait nearly over 1 minute for the compiler to complete building. This is unaccaptable. I thought about loading only the project I need into visual studio and not the whole solution. The problem is that the compiler tells me it cannot find the referenced dlls (project references) although they are all lying in their bin and obj...

Bounds checked arrays

by: jacob navia | last post by:

As everybody knows, the C language lacks a way of specifying bounds checked arrays. This situation is intolerable for people that know that errors are easy to do, and putting today's powerful microprocessor to do a few instructions more at each array access will not make any difference what speed is concerned. Not all C applications are real-time apps.

Building Byte Arrays - Speed

by: Dennis | last post by:

I was trying to determine the fastest way to build a byte array from components where the size of the individual components varied depending on the user's input. I tried three classes I built: (1) using redim arrays to add to a normal byte array (2) using an ArrayList and finally (3) using a memorystream. These three classes are listed below the test sub called "TestBuildByteArray". It was interesting that using the memorystream was...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
