[EQAditu]

As usual, I couldn't help but poke my nose in and run a few tests for curiousity's sake. Though LCT didn't really have a direct option to import old logs to make the testing easier. My only recourse was to inject EQ2 logs into an already open log file and hope for the best.

Of course the best wasn't great, but I'll share anyhow. Just as a preface, LCT saw the 32MB of injected logs as one encounter, which I'm sure caused problems I cannot predict. Additionally it would draw a graph of the giant encounter every second as it was parsing, undoubtably slowing the parsing down. I couldn't fool ACT into doing that as the injected logs were in the past and not "new". So for the tests, ACT had a CPU advantage of an unknown amount.

I ran a few tests for ACT using different perfomance settings, and some settings to simulate one giant encounter like LCT was doing. So labels like (1) mean one giant encounter. A label with "-" means ACT had memory saving options enabled.

Program/Test       LCT(1)    ACT(73)   ACT(1)    ACT(73)-  ACT(1)-
Startup CPU        0.937     1.453     "         "         "
Startup RAM        25.6M     35.2M     "         "         "
Startup Private    32.0M     29.2M     "         "         "
Read 32MB CPU      1:25.953  1:09.656  1:01.375  49.703    51.828
Read 32MB RAM      95.6M     218M      218M      106M      102M
Read 32MB Private  96.5M     214M      214M      100M      95M

This was my fault - should be fixed with the latest version.

Interesting results d2!

Yeah I didn't bother to include any import log file functionality, as the encounter history sort of negates any immediate need for it. If people clamor for it, I could add it pretty quickly.

And I wondered if you were trying it out

Also, you can download the latest version at www.litecombattracker.com/LCTSetup.exe

That's a show stopper for me. I tried LCT out, but without any import, I cant even see its output

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by that. Anyhow, I'm adding an import button so you will be able to grab data without having to parse it in real time. I'll let you know when it's done.

This looks cool, I think I'll try it.

Thanks.
