Guessing speed improvements of one piece of code to another is at best lost time. If you can't measure it, it isn't worth the effort. Just take into account database access: which cursor to choose for maximum speed? Or changing the order of For loops - which one is really faster and does it pay off to change it?Take the guessing out of your decisions: measure the runtime of your code (=profile it!). The component presented in this article helps you by providing functions to do exactly this-with two different methods (one less exact but well-known, one much more exact, however, less known). As there are only four functions, we dive into programming immediately
