Send_Info and performance (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

Hi,
Just an observation as much as a query, unless someone can tell me why the awful performance with Send_Info displaying a Status.
I did a noddy program to loop from 1 to 1000000 with a little calculation of percentage in it.
On its own it ran in 6 seconds.
Just displaying the change of percentage integer, still 6 seconds.
Displaying the percentage for each loop, 12 mins and 31 seconds.
Anyone any thoughts ??
Regards,
Simon

Probably not what you want…
Do the send_info only when the percentage changes. Rather than sending 1,000,000 send_info; send 100.

It's slow because you're calling a function that does a couple of memory functions and then a display- use the percentage.

Simon,
I just thought that I should comment that the SEND_INFO subroutine does send the information to the window that has focus. So if you are doing the percentage for window "A" and window "B" has focus, then the SEND_INFO subroutine will send the information to window "B" not window "A".

Thanks all.
Had already decided the percentage on change only was the way forward.

If you want to you can get the STATUSLINE property and use Set_Property to set the text rather than send_info - this is twice as fast… but still slow :)
