[sword-devel] Your speed is great!

[Victor Porton]

The speed of Sword is great!

On Pentium 166
$ ./speed
20000 cycles for 16.37 seconds (One cycle per 0.0008185 sec).

I suggest to add the following program to the tests:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <swmgr.h>
#include <swld.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        const char *modname = argc<2 ? "BDB" : argv[1];
	
        SWMgr mymgr;
	
	SWLD *mod = (SWLD*)mymgr.Modules[modname];
	
	if (!mod) {
		std::cerr << "Module " << modname << " is not installed!" << std::endl;
		return EXIT_FAILURE;
	}

	clock_t sum = 0;

	const int numCycles = 20000;

	for(int i=0; i<numCycles; ++i) {
		int num = 1+(int) (8853.0*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));
		char buf[5];
		sprintf(buf, "%d", num);
		clock_t begintime = clock();
		mod->SetKey(StrKey(buf));
		mod->getRawEntry();
		clock_t endtime = clock();
		sum += endtime - begintime;
	}
	
	float time = (float)sum/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
	std::cout << numCycles <<" cycles for " << time <<
		" seconds (One cycle per " << time/numCycles << " sec)." << std::endl;
}
