How to avoid redefining function

gharish
gharish over 11 years ago

Hai,

I have created a application form, which calls so many procedures. there are almost 10 procedures. And I need all these procedures to be executed every time for my form callback. In this case this script is slowing down my tool's performance. And i have declared all the variables in the procedures as local variables.

So please tell me is there any way to improve my form's performance. Can we undefine those functions after closing of my form, or can we clean the memory. Please help me.

    Do you really think it's likely that anyone would be able to improve your form's performance without being able to see your code?  I don't mean to be rude, but seriously?

    There is no need to undefine functions - this would not help anything (even if those 10 functions were huge, I cannot see how this could help performance or even memory usage). SKILL garbage collects unused objects and hence reuses memory.

    The most likely situation is that your code is not written efficiently. Using the SKILL profiler might help identify the bottlenecks in your code. Of course, if you post the code somebody might be able to spot what is wrong and make suggestions. 

    Kindest Regards,

    Andrew
