Title: Message
Andrew,
 
Have you looked at implementing the GlobalVar.dll (used by Roy extensively in his TE systems and available from his web site).
 
I ran into a similar problem some time ago with multiple use of Fml and FmlVar calls in a fairly complicated system I was working on; reworking my code to utilise the features of GV gave me a speed increase measured in multiples, not percentages; IMHO much more I would have achieved by spending more $$ on additional computing power; my challenge may have been totally different to your current one, however it may be worth checking out as a first step to see if you can streamline some your code using the GV.dll.
 
Regards,
Mike Sloane

Having decided that I'm not going to be able to get away from PREV code, I'm
now trying to work out how to speed up my MS operation. Have some of you
power users out there found that using faster processors and more RAM makes
a noticeable speed improvement with MS?

I am using a Dell Dimension Pentium 4 1.8GHz machine with 768MB of RAM right
now. In my frustration I'm even wondering if I should go to a dual processor
workstation - but there would need to be a meaningful pickup in speed. And
is the bottleneck processing speed, or memory, or bus size, or what?

Are there any settings (e.g. virtual memory) that can be changed to make a
difference?

Any and all comments welcome (apart from "code more efficiently" - as I
think Roy is about to tell us, when you are using latches with independent
variables and trailing stop code, getting away from PREV is real hard).

Best
Andrew
