Very interesting. Is there any speed difference between a compiled exe and running the script over the perl exe? Is it really compiled? Or is it just script+interpreter in an exe?My guess is script+interpreter...-Gothi[c] (July 11, 2006, 11:42 AM)



When determining memory usage of a process, you should be looking at both the "Mem Usage" and the "VM Size" columns in Task Manager.The most important thing to look at is "private bytes" (use Process Explorer), as this is the real and exclusive memory usage for the process.-Defenestration
You may already know this (in which case please excuse me for stating the obviousYes, of course), but do you have the AMON setting "Optimize scanning" enabled ?
This feature causes AMON to rescan a particular file after it's been changed, the virus signature database has been updated, if AMON's settings have been changed or an application has attempted to access the file in write mode.-Defenestration


Not that I've seen... Sure, it doesn't re-scan files that aren't changed while you keep your computer running, but the "scanned files database" is in-memory and doesn't survive a reboot.Big problem with NOD32: it doesn't cache file status, so every time you boot your system, files have to be re-scanned, which makes first-launch of apps pretty slow (AMD64x2 4400+ here, and it *is* noticable >_<). Also, I haven't found a way to disable the background/instant file scanning that persists through reboots.I'm sure there is an option to only scan new and changed files in NOD.-f0dder (May 21, 2006, 10:16 AM)-Defenestration (July 06, 2006, 07:40 AM)
I was checking out the Member specials and came across very good discounts on Resource Tuner and Resource Builder. I know these apps can rip/replace/edit resources from EXE's, DLL's, etc., but are these apps really necessary when Visual Studio already includes a resource editor?(emphasis added by me)-Defenestration (July 06, 2006, 01:36 AM)

When I want to use one or more from my other folder, I just click and open them, then minimize them to the taskbar. They then appear in the font list of whatever applications I use(mainly just used for digital art). When I am done, I just close them and they are removed from the list.That's a great tip!-app103 (July 06, 2006, 12:52 AM)
worth of useless trivia 
I vote this as one of the best threads ever. If all of the software alliances, the RIAA, MPAA and so forth would sit down over a long time and discuss like this, so much could be accomplished.Problem is, they won't. All they care about is maximizing their profits...-y0himba (July 04, 2006, 05:26 PM)
Sorry f0dder... not taking the bait on this one.*grin*-Rover (July 03, 2006, 06:24 PM)
