Difference in time between Demo tool & Dll

Hi,
We recently purchased your DF SDK tool and we modified the sample example that was included. We tweaked it to make a differential file using byte-to-byte rather than smart difference. This generates us really nice & compact file [thanks for this], but we are having major concern with the time.
When we download the demo tool from this website and run with only smart difference to byte-by-byte difference on a set of file, we can generate the df file in 15 mins. This is quite good considering that the files are almost 1.7GB in size.

When we use the dll & the sample project included in our purchase on the same machine and on the same set of files, we are able to generate the files in 45 mins. I am not sure why the difference in time as much as 3.2x. Can you please help what we can do to make it run quicker?

I have tried to set the assume file as different flags in the sample example project along with no compression, where as the demo tool does compare and compress. This change has reduced the time by 5 - 7 mins on an average, but it is still far away than 15 mins that the demo tool takes with these options turned on.

Once thing that I noticed though, is that the file generated by the sample example is mostly half the size of the df file generated by the demo tool. Though this is greatly appreciated as it is a smaller file, yet we would like more speed rather than file size.

Here are the only codes that I have added / modified in the original sample example project.

I would be gratefulf for your help.

To achieve the maximum speed you try setting the following parameters:

Notes:
1. iEqSearchMethod defines the method of identical file content parts search process, in case of iContentUpdateData=DF_CONTENT_SMART_DIFF. Otherwise field value is ignored.
2. nMaxMemoryUsage defines max RAM size which can be used during identical content parts search process (actual only if iContentUpdateData=DF_CONTENT_SMART_DIFF).

However the size of the result patch-file and the speed of its building depends not only of the parameters of the comparing algorithm but also on the nature and the similarity ratio of files to be compared.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I agree that the patch size and time depends on the ratio of similar content in a file and also on system & algorithm. But why is there such a massive difference in time when same algorithm is used, on the same files. I am trying the demo tool and your sample project on the same set of files, one after the other. And the time difference is up to 3 times mostly. Can you please help us why such a major difference in time with the same files, algorithm etc.

Thanks.

Hooray. Time to get ripped of again, & this time Waveney are having a laugh
Anybody know of good offers lately? Here's hoping....

Im interested in the Primo Ramdisk Professional Edition
but my question is what is the difference between Business License & personal licence.
I work from home on occasion. so its also my personal computer.
is there any advantage to having a business license?

Thanks.

Dear JS-Support,
What is the planned difference features between debug and release builds ?
