RE: Re: SixPacks mods for GCIC users

Hi Paolo

This is in reply to your original problem with GCIC - slow loading of large
files.

The developers have hijacked this chain of E-mails for a different purpose.
How about changing the subject?

The original problem with GCIC
I took a look at the code and "lo and behold" I have a BUG in my "Efficient
Storage handling" routines.

Your numbers didn't make sense to me.
While your solution was a nice work-around it did not address all the
problems.

a) you might not get enough on the original Get main for the entire file
b) freeing up storage from deletes
c) inefficient utilization of storage.

Certainly that would be the fastest solution but it has too many holes in
the logic.

I took a look at my storage handling routines and found a logic bug.

I fixed the bug with about 6 instructions and now on my  dimension 9200 the
same file that took 60 seconds to load - loads in about 3. (17000 records of
132 pos.) That seems to be a fair response time.

I'd like for you to give it a try and I'll send you the fixed source offline
Post your results please.

I made no changes to the Gtable module. All changes were in GSVC - storage
handling etc.
