Efficient
compiling and performance
The way you write functions and define variables affects your
productivity and your application’s performance.
Short scripts for faster
compiling
If you plan to build machine code dynamic libraries for your
deployed application, keep scripts for functions and events short. Longer
scripts take longer to compile. Break the scripts up so that instead of
one long script, you have a script that makes calls to several other
functions. Consider defining functions in user objects so that other
objects can call the same functions.
Local variables for faster
performance
The scope of variables affects performance. When you have a choice,
use local variables, which provide the fastest performance. Global
variables have the biggest negative impact on performance.
