Hi, another update wrt speed of bit writes; it makes me think it might not be worthwhile to split the instances or anything like that. I'm still looking for some comments though (hint hint).
If the performance difference is just 11%, it sounds like it's best to keep the instances combined. (I'm assuming both versions were carefully written for speed - seems like a safe assumption given the author!) The speed difference is likely to continue as the speed difference between processors,memory,etc. and disks,system calls,etc. continues to grow. -- Alastair Reid alastair@reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk Reid Consulting (UK) Limited http://www.reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/alastair/
