No, but you saying that reminded me of where I saw it. It's in the Time class.On Oct 3, 2008, at 3:59 PM, Mariano Abel Coca wrote:I think you must be thinking in #timeToRun.
ms := Time millisecondsToRun: [ do some stuff here ]Using this on the code below, the comma approach took 8478 milliseconds and the stream approach took 185 milliseconds. Big difference!
About that... In VisualAge there are the EsbTracer and EsbSampler, which allows you to meassure the time that involves every message sent. It's useful to tune some code... But don't know in Squeak. Any ideas?_______________________________________________

That reminds me. I know I ran across a method that runs a block and then tells you how long it took. Anyone remember what that's called?On Oct 3, 2008, at 3:09 PM, Mariano Abel Coca wrote:Just check it by yourself. ;)_______________________________________________

speed is the reason for the stream approach. The #, approach copies
the first string once for each #, send.
MV> Are there other approaches I should consider?
Don't know of any but then I'm not an expert.
