Making Coding Changes to Improve Performance
No matter what you do to optimize the operating system environment and improve your data design, poor code can continue to bog you down. A properly optimized application is optimized in terms of the environment, data design, and code. Just as poor table design can degrade performance, poor coding techniques also can have a dramatic negative effect on performance. Changes to your code include eliminating variants and dead code, using built-in collections, and using specific object types. An important code-related optimization is to deliver your modules precompiled.The following changes and techniques can aid in the improvement of performance. It is important to recognize that any one change won't make much of a difference. However, an accumulation of all the changes, especially where code is being re-executed in a loop, can make a significant impact on your application's performance.
Eliminate Variants and Use the Smallest Data Type Possible
Variant variables are the slowest for the operating system to process; they carry a lot of overhead because the compiler resolves them at runtime. Remember that this statement declares a variant type of variable: Dim intCounterTo strong-type this variable as an integer, for example, you must modify your code to look like this:
Dim intCounter As IntegerNot only should you strong-type your variables, but you also should use the smallest data type possible. Remember that data types such as Boolean, Byte, Integer, and Long are the smallest and therefore the fastest to resolve. They are followed by Single, Double, Currency, and (finally) Variant. Of course, if you must store very large numbers with decimal points in a variable, you cannot pick Single. Just keep in mind that it is wise to select the smallest data type appropriate for the use of the variable. Listing 18.1 provides code that illustrates the difference between using a variant and a long integer.
