Will calling ksort() on an array speed up it's access?
For example, I have the array $file_index, which is accessed by a key (the
entry id) and has two sub elements in a one dimensional array (line number
of the start of the entry in the file, and the byte offset of the start of
the entry).
so, I might have an array that can be represented thus:
{
2 => {1, 100),
4 => (30, 556),
10 => (376, 2637),
...
}
These usually have thousands of entries, so the arrays are quite large, and
anything I can do to speed up the data access will be big.
One file, contains under 10MB of data in under 2000 entries, the next
contains about 35MB of data in around 8000 entries, and the final contains
about 125MB of data in 20000+ entries, and I'm noticing significant lag on
the latter, so I was hoping to find a way to speed up the array access.
Thanks for the help

No, sorting won't help.

Does anyone know of a way to speed up the access?

Store it in a DBMS like MySQL - that's what they're designed to do

A DBMS is faster than an array?

Have you tried increasing the memory limit in php.ini?
memory_limit = 256M
.... maybe buy more RAM for you computer

No, but it's faster than dealing with a file, reading it in and parsing
it, sorting an array, etc, as tyhe code in a DBMS is optimised for the
tasks, rather than generalised coding support.
You'll probably also find thjat a good DBMS will scale better on certain
operations with large sets of data This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
