Graph axes assignment: performance difference between ATTR_ACTIVE_XAXIS and ATTR_PLOT_XAXIS
Hi,
I am using a xy graph with both x axes and both y axes. There are two possibilities when adding a new plot:
1) PlotXY and SetPlotAttribute ( , , , ATTR_PLOT_XAXIS, );
2) SetCtrlAttribute ( , , ATTR_ACTIVE_XAXIS, ) and PlotXY
I tend to prefer the second method because I would assume it to be slightly faster, but what do the experts say?
Thanks!
Solved!

Hi Wolfgang,
thank you for your interesting question.
First of all I want to say, that generally spoken, using the command "SetCtrlAttribute"is the best way to handle with your elements. I would suggest using this command when ever it is possible.
Now, to your question regarding the performance difference between "SetCtrlAttribute" and "SetPlotAttribute".
I think the performance difference occures, because in the background of the "SetPlotAttribute" command, another function called "ProcessDrawEvents" is executed. This event refreshes your plot again and again in the function whereas in the "SetCtrlAttribute" the refreshing is done once after the function has been finished. This might be a possible reason.
For example you have a progress bar which shows you the progress of installing a driver:
"SetPlotAttribute" would show you the progress bar moving step by step until installing the driver is done.
"SetCtrlAttribute" would just show you an empty bar at the start and a full progress bar when the installing process is done.
I think it is like that but I can't tell you 100%, therefore I would need to ask our developers.
If you want, i can forward the question to them, this might need some times. Also, then I would need to know which version of CVI you are using.
Please let me now if you want me to forward your question.
Have a nice day,

Performance difference between page and scroll
Hi experts:
What is the technical difference between paging and scrolling, especially as pertains to database access and performance? The scenario would be a table result in a view where 200 results exist for a query. A scrollable table would show all results, while the paging table would show 10/20 per page. Is the database selection the same for both approaches? Or is the paging approach going to make more trips? If there are trips - how does the UI know how many pages should be presented? Is one or the other a better approach for data which is not existing in CRM system?
regards,
bill.If you look at the servlet translated from a JSP, you'll see these lines:
Object page = this;
pageContext = _jspxFactory.getPageContext(this, request, response,
null, true, 8192, true);
_jspx_page_context = pageContext;
application = pageContext.getServletContext();So page is simply an alias for this.
And PageContext is analogous to ServletContext but please notice, it's not the same or a replacement; application is the implicit reference to ServletContext and not pageContext. There is no equivalent of pageContext in servlets.
Please note that the page scope doesn't refer to the page object but to the pageContext. Therefore, what Manivel said above
page is used as a scope with in one jspisn't correct.

Is there any performance difference between unique and no unique index
Hi,
We are working with both databases Oracle and MS-SQL and we have an open channel to MS-SQL server core team.
We got the word from them that there is a difference between unique and no unique index from the optimizer perspective, i.e. the optimizer knowing that the index is unique may choose a more suitable plan for running a specific query, we're still trying to find a specific example.
Anyway, since we do not have an open channel to Oracle core, I thought maybe one of you guys knows something about Oracle optimizer behavior on this issue.
I am interested verified answers from certified sources and not suggestions or thoughts.

Performance difference between 6490M and 6750M?

Performance difference between sqlj and jdbc
hi:
i am working with a project and i have to generate text files
from database . first i am working with pl/sql, but i am not so
satisfied with the performance. so i turn to java stored procedure. I have two choice sqlj and jdbc when accessing
database? which performs better? sqlj or jdbc? or there's only
little difference.
And would u like to give me some other choice to run faster.
maybe pro*c/c++ is a choice . but if it can't run much faster ,
it's not a better choice.

Performance Difference Between 2gb and 4gb on a MacBook Pro
Hi Guys,
About to make the big purchase. I am wondering what is the proformance difference between 2gb of ram and 4gb of ram on the new MacBook Pro?
Thanks
llI upgraded my new late 208 mbp and have been having ram problems ever since. My computer keeps locking up usually during video play and makes screeching noises and has weird 1 inch thick horizontal lines that go across my screen when it happens. I have to do a hard shutdown. I called macsales.com where i got the OWC memory and they said there is an issue with the video drivers and the third party memory. I have already had a replacement computer from Apple and it is still happening on a different computer. i did a fresh install of the OS but still having it. So be aware....it's already happened on two computers for me!

Performance difference between LIKE and "="
May I know what will be the performance difference for
select * from a where b = 'C'
v.s.
select * from a where b like 'C'
In general, we don't notice any performance difference in using "LIKE" but under some situation we do. Any idea why?Equality is a relatively easy thing for the cost-based optimizer (CBO) to handle, so it is far more likely that it will generate the "right" query plan.
It is a lot more difficult for the CBO to estimate how many rows a LIKE query will return, particularly since the vast majority of LIKE clauses have wild-cards. I would not be suprised if the CBO were occasionally generating incorrect plans if you are using LIKE where you could be using =.

Display Performance Difference between CS3 and CS4
I have a computer running CS3 and a computer running CS4. When I place an image in InDesign CS3, it looks way better than when I place it in CS4. The display performance for both computers are set exactly the same. Raster and Vector images are set to proxy, transparency is set to medium quality, Anti Aliasing is turned on.
The CS4 computer:
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Memory 4GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
CS3 computer:
Processor Name: PowerPC G5
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Memory 4GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
What am I missing? It is virtually every image."You can adjust the quality of the the display itself without altering the name of the setting."
Tried that. The end result is viewing images at the higher quality that slows down the machine.
"Also, the size and resolution of images plays a role in how large the previews are, and their quality."
The difference is very noticeable when the exact same image is placed at the exact same sizes in InDesign CS3 and CS4. Everything in the workflow remained the same, except the changing of InDesign files. -
Dual 24" cinema displays - performance difference between 6490M and 6750M?
Hi,
I am running 2 x 24" Apple Cinema displays and need to choose between the 2.2ghz i7-2635QM and 2.0ghz i7-2720QM MacBook Pro 15" offerings. They come with the 256mg HD 6490M graphics and the 1gb 6750M graphics.
I do a bit of Photoshop CS3 (once a month), rarely any video rendering.
But as I run dual monitors (via a Matrox DualHead2Go DP edition) I am keen to find out if the extra £300 for the higher spec will actually assist my usage.
Its currently running on a MacBook Pro 6,2 2.4ghz early 2010 model. It runs fine on this.
Thanks
EricCan't help with your question, but wondering what video adapter you are using to connect 2x Cine Display to your MacBook Pro as I'd like to do the same.

Performance difference between InfoCube and ODS
Hello guys,
I have to implement a data contrainer with round about 40 millions entries and more than 50 characteristics/items.
The question is fairly easy - what kind of data contrainer (ÍnfoCube or ODS-Object) is more powerful on reporting aspects, adopted i set up secondary indexes for specific characteristics on the ODS-Objekt or use line item dimensions for same characteristics at an InfoCube.
Thx 4 advise
MarkusHi Markus,
from the point of view of reporting Cubes offer powerfull tools for improving performances.
One of the most important is the logical partitioning: if you have different years in your data you can split cubes for year and then aggregate all with a MultiProvider.
The system during query run will split the single query into several queries reading in parallel the single cubes under the Multiprovider.
Check in Business Intelligence area of SDN, you will find a document for performance improvement.
Ciao.

Performance difference between tables and materialized views
hi ,
I created a materialized view on a query that involves partition table in it.
When i used the same query and created a table out of it <create table xyz as select * from (the query)> ,the table got created quickly.
So does that mean performance wise creating table is faster than creating/refreshing the materialized view ?or is that due to the refresh method i use ?Currently i use a complete refreshI created a materialized view on a query that involves partition table in it.

So does that mean performance wise creating table is faster than creating/refreshing the materialized view ?or is that due to the refresh method i use ?Currently i use a complete refresh Well, for starters, if you created the materialized view first and then the standard table, the data for the second one has already been fetched recently and so will reduce your I/O due to caching, and will therefore be quicker. There are also other factors such as the materialized view creating other internal bits that are required to allow for refreshes to be done quickly, such as the primary key etc which you haven't created on your second creation.
What you have shown is that two completely different statements running at different times, appear to operate with different speed. It is not a comparison of whether the materialized view is slower or quicker than the create table statement. -

Huge performance differences between a map listener for a key and filter
Hi all,
I wanted to test different kind of map listener available in Coherence 3.3.1 as I would like to use it as an event bus. The result was that I found huge performance differences between them. In my use case, I have data which are time stamped so the full key of the data is the key which identifies its type and the time stamp. Unfortunately, when I had my map listener to the cache, I only know the type id but not the time stamp, thus I cannot add a listener for a key but for a filter which will test the value of the type id. When I launch my test, I got terrible performance results then I tried a listener for a key which gave me much better results but in my case I cannot use it.
Here are my results with a Dual Core of 2.13 GHz
1) Map Listener for a Filter
a) No Index
Create (data always added, the key is composed by the type id and the time stamp)

Cache.putAll
Test 2: Total 43860 millis, Avg 1096, Total Tries 40, Cache Size 80000

user620763Hi Robert,
Indeed, only the Filter.evaluate(Object obj)
method is invoked, but the object passed to it is a
MapEvent.<< In fact, I do not need to implement EntryFilter to
get a MapEvent, I could get the same result (in my
last message) by writting
cache.addMapListener(listener, filter,
true)instead of
cache.addMapListener(listener, new
MapEventFilter(filter) filter, true)
I believe, when the MapEventFilter delegates to your filter it always passes a value object to your filter (old or new), meaning a value will be deserialized.
If you instead used your own filter, you could avoid deserializing the value which usually is much larger, and go to only the key object. This would of course only be noticeable if you indeed used a much heavier cached value class.
The hashCode() and equals() does not matter on
the filter class<< I'm not so sure since I noticed that these methods
were implemented in the EqualsFilter class, that they
are called at runtime and that the performance
results are better when you add them
That interests me... In what circumstances did you see them invoked? On the storage node before sending an event, or upon registering a filtered listener?
If the second, then I guess the listeners are stored in a hash-based map of collections keyed by a filter, and indeed that might be relevant as in that case it will cause less passes on the filter for multiple listeners with an equalling filter.
DataOutput.writeInt(int) writes 4 bytes.
ExternalizableHelper.writeInt(DataOutput, int) writes
1-5 bytes (or 1-6?), with numbers with small absolute
values consuming less bytes.Similar differences exist
for the long type as well, but your stamp attribute
probably will be a large number...<< I tried it but in my use case, I got the same
results. I guess that it must be interesting, if I
serialiaze/deserialiaze many more objects.
Also, if Coherence serializes an
ExternalizableLite object, it writes out its
class-name (except if it is a Coherence XmlBean). If
you define your key as an XmlBean, and add your class
into the classname cache configuration in
ExternalizableHelper.xml, then instead of the
classname, only an int will be written. This way you
can spare a large percentage of bandwidth consumed by
transferring your key instance as it has only a small
number of attributes. For the value object, it might
or might not be so relevant, considering that it will
probably contain many more attributes. However, in
case of a lite event, the value is not transferred at
all.<< I tried it too and in my use case, I noticed that
we get objects nearly twice lighter than an
ExternalizableLite object but it's slower to get
them. But it is very intersting to keep in mind, if
we would like to reduce the network traffic.
Yes, these are minor differences at the moment.
As for the performance of XMLBean, it is a hack, but you might try overriding the readExternal/writeExternal method with your own usual ExternalizableLite implementation stuff. That way you get the advantages of the xmlbean classname cache, and avoid its reflection-based operation, at the cost of having to extend XMLBean.
Also, sooner or later the TCMP protocol and the distributed cache storages will also support using PortableObject as a transmission format, which enables using your own classname resolution and allow you to omit the classname from your objects. Unfortunately, I don't know when it will be implemented.
>
But finally, I guess that I found the best solution
for my specific use case which is to use a map
listener for a key which has no time stamp, but since
the time stamp is never null, I had just to check
properly the time stamp in the equals method.
I would still recommend to use a separate key class, use a custom filter which accesses only the key and not the value, and if possible register a lite listener instead of a heavy one. Try it with a much heavier cached value class where the differences are more pronounced.
Best regards,
Robert
