[Gambas-user] Question about read/write file performance

[Phạm Quang Dương]

Hi,

Maybe this is a basic question. I have 2 scripts like this:

Code 1:
Dim buff as *Byte*
sizeOfFile = Stat("aBigFile").Size

hFile = Open "aBigFile" for read
For i = 1 to sizeOfFile
Read hFile, buff
Next
Close hFile

Code 2:
Dim buff as *Byte*
Dim bigBuff as *Float*

sizeOfFile = Stat("aBigFile").Size

hFile = Open "aBigFile" for read
For i = 1 to sizeOfFile / 8
Read hFile, bigBuff
 Next
For i = 1 to sizeOfFile MOD 8
Read hFile, buff
Next
Close hFile

Code 1 take t1 time unit to finish, code 2 is t2.

Are t1, t2 different? Which can be faster?
