OT: SP2 and The InitializeComponent Optimizer

[Justin Weinberg]

If you just purchased the InitializeComponent Optimizer from us
(www.mrgsoft.com), we wanted to let you know the performance optimizations
performed by the tool are still relevant after applying SP2.

Our initial testing (x86) show SP2 did not remove the benefits of top down
sorting and replacement of loc and size pairs with bounds statements on
Chris Tacke's test data at OpenNetCF.org:

Before applying SP2, unoptimized ~ 22,250ms
Before applying SP2, optimized ~10,625ms

After applying SP2, unoptimized ~ 20,200ms
After applying SP2, optimized ~ 11,225ms

I'll make data available as we check it for different devices.

This is my test and... I've a orrible performance with sp2
==================================
ms Sp Optimiz. After a
----------------------------------
15330 Sp1 without opt Soft Reset
15350 Sp1 without opt Soft Reset
15310 Sp1 without opt Soft Reset
14870 Sp1 with opt Soft Reset
14030 Sp1 with opt Soft Reset
14230 Sp1 with opt Soft Reset
17900 Sp2 without opt Soft Reset
17430 Sp2 without opt Soft Reset
17540 Sp2 without opt Soft Reset
17090 Sp2 with opt Soft Reset
17500 Sp2 with opt Soft Reset
17420 Sp2 conwith opt Soft Reset
==================================

I've got a performance issue, more than 2 sec. worser from
Sp1 to Sp2

O_o

P.s.
Sorry for my english.

So your app is taking 15 seconds to start? I think you really need to
rethink your application design if this is the case. What are you doing is
startup?

My previous results was in debug mode from VS.NET with the
PPC2003 Emulator.

Now i'm testing the binary on a iPAQ3630 and the same Form
take:
Code Optimized and SP1
4754
4420
4574
4406
4614
4729
4669

Code Optimized and SP2
4383
4442
4315
4329
4287
4203
4279
4197
4232

So, in this case the performance with SP2 are better than
SP1. I don't know why in the emulator I've registered
worse performance with the installation of SP2...

Antonio.

Hi Antonio,

Although you discovered it the hard way, I would like to point out to others
that profiling applications on the emulator is not guaranteed to be
reflective of the performance on an actual device. Timing is not accurately
emulated.

hehe

I have a form that used to take 25s to start and is now down to 13s after
using the optimizer - I am so happy and so are my users

That makes me smile Shaun. I'm glad the tool has proved useful to you.
