Because programmers >nowadays don't care about speed, a stupid featureless text editing program Today's object oriented development relies heavily on premade components. If these components are slow, the software you write as a whole is slow. Have you looked at any MFC book on the store shelves? Over 1000 pages of OS routines, plus your COM components, DLLs, OCXs, etc... A programmer these days isn't so much a programmer as he is merely gluing existing code fragments together, all the way from simple dialog boxes to advanced graphics routines. This results in much faster code development, but you are bound by the performance of these existing routines. Given the added complexity of today's applications, it's hard to expect people to roll many of their own routines for the sake of an apparent performance increase on slower computers. It's just too expensive. ========================================================================== == Glenn Saunders --3D Graphics / Videography / Web development-- == == krishna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/1698 == == Stella@20 video page http://users.cnmnetwork.com/~krishna == ========================================================================== -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
