Speed of application

[andyroo]

I am fairly new to Borland C++ Builder and need some help with trying to improve the speed of an application I have "inherited" !!

It is an application that receives messages from another app and for each message received a new thread is spawned. These threads then access a database to perform selects and inserts and returns a message to the calling app.

I was wondering if there were any package settings to optimise the code or if anyone had any general helpful hints for speeding up the code.

Thanks for any help

Andy.

I wrote this JS faq on optimisation (I know it's far from being C++ but bare with me)

faq216-1758

There is an unrolling technique in there as well as common sense you can read to get primed.

There is also this link on C optimisation that can be applied to C++ I found with the keyword unrolling in google.

Do search "duff's device" in google as well.

I hope this helps. Gary
