How to speed up execution

[whynotregister]

ahk_h is awesome. The only downside is that the program runs a bit slower. Does anyone have a user who improves this and uses it?
It takes about 2 seconds to execute about 20,000 lines of script.

Do you have an example code that runs slower?
Are you using SetBatchLines, -1

Yes. It is already in use.

You would have to take measurements (with QueryPerformanceFrequency / QueryPerformanceCounter) at different places in the code and see where the slowest part is.

I did the same also in a code I used and I found out that the wmi part takes 80% of the speed from my whole code I used (e.g.)


Maybe HotKeyIt implements it (QPC - high-resolution time stamps) in the near future in his ahk_h (als buildin). If not, it is only 3 DllCalls for one measurement.

I'm not talking about script performance. It literally means the time when the program is completely loaded when the exe is executed.
ahk_h performance is great.

So you mean until your Gui is displayed for example?
In that case try to whitelist the program in your Antivirus programm, because AHK_H is larger and additionally uses compression internally it takes longer to anlyze it.

Yes. But I dont use AV, Windows Defender.
Compile the script with msgbox 1 written 20,000 lines. And when run it takes about 2 sec to show the msgbox window.
I understand that the ahk_h version has to sacrifice some execution time to protect the script.

[HotKeyIt]

Same is for Windows Defender.
Did you use compression?

yes use compression option

[HotKeyIt]

That of course takes the time since it copresses additionally line by line.
Did you try to whitelist in Windows Defender, was it any faster afterwards?

[whynotregister]

I already disabled windows defender, so it doesn't seem to matter.
Would the execution speed improve if decrypt 2-3 lines at the same time instead of decrypting line by line? Could this method introduce a security flaw?

Not much if you have 20.000 lines and yes it would.

It takes about 2 seconds to execute about 20,000 lines of script.

i'm seeing similar results on startup of my compiled script, i think its because of the source code encryption, since it needs to be decrypted on startup

Yes, thats right
