Re: Why is wxPerl slower than Win32GUI?

wxWidgets is a slightly thicker wrapper for the native widget set, so it will be a little slower

FWIW, on my machine, with perl -le " print 1 for 1 .. 10*1024 " >data, and adding this to both files

 my $ix = 0;
 while (<$data>) {
  if(/$query/i){
      $ix++;
      $display_field->Append("$ix : $_") 
  }
 }

...
warn "$time ";

I get 8 for wxPerl, 4 for Win32::GUI, but Win32::GUI stops updating after ~3456 lines, go figure

Thank you Anonymous Monk for the testing. To deal with the buffer overflow in Win32::GUI, you might need to add something like this: `#Deals with buffer overflow $display_field->SetLimitText(10000000);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

With that change, the difference is zero to one second.	[reply]

Thanks for the information. I'm now suspecting the problem I'm experiencing might have something to do with character encoding. I'll keep my post updated. Thank you again.	[reply]
