	v11 performance: Unicode vs. ASCII Compatibility Mode by Richard Wright-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message When v11 is in ASCII Compatibility Mode (i.e., Unicode Mode is off), I understand that there will be a performance hit with operations on strings. Are there any other performance issues that anyone knows about? Can I get at least as good performance as with 2004 when Unicode Mode is off? Any issues with WAN or the ability to run on multiple processors? ------------------------------------------------ Richard Wright DataDomain rwright@... ------------------------------------------------ ******************************************************************** Get up to $600 to spend on Amazon.com this holiday season - http://www.4d.com/serverpromo.html 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4D.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4D_Tech-Unsubscribe@... ********************************************************************
	RE: v11 performance: Unicode vs. ASCII Compatibility Mode by Jeffrey Kain :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message The performance hit isn't that bad anymore. In fact, we didn't really measure much hit at all. Keep in mind that you're still limited to 32K text in non-Unicode mode. ******************************************************************** Get up to $600 to spend on Amazon.com this holiday season - http://www.4d.com/serverpromo.html 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4D.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4D_Tech-Unsubscribe@... ********************************************************************
	Re: v11 performance: Unicode vs. ASCII Compatibility Mode by Richard Wright-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Thanks, Jeff. Are there any other limitations you know of when Unicode mode is off other than the 32K text limit? I'm aware of all of the string-based differences - I'm just wondering about any other not-so- obvious issues that are Unicode-dependent that may limit the use of v11's new features. I've looked through the manuals and can't find any. ------------------------------------------------ Richard Wright DataDomain rwright@... ------------------------------------------------ > Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:11:10 -0500 > From: "Jeffrey Kain" <jkain@...> > To: "4D iNug Technical" <4d_tech@...> > Message-ID: > <EB8EBE254C16534D9BC41A91DAECF8780663D955@...> > > The performance hit isn't that bad anymore.

	RE: v11 performance: Unicode vs. ASCII Compatibility Mode by Jeffrey Kain :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Richard, Nope, not really. There are some differences in how Char works as well as string comparisons compared to Unicode mode, so if you do stuff with either low or high ascii characters you'll want to test carefully regardless of which mode you choose. We went with Unicode mode, since we really wanted >32K texts in some places. Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Richard Wright Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 5:16 PM To: 4d_tech@...
