Is the YAVs RAD Tools Global as fast as a normal global?
In this demo project, retrieving data from the YAV’s RAD Tools global is a few ticks slower than using a normal global (unless you’ve got hundreds of globals equivalent to the hundreds of records in YAV’s RAD Tools Global, in which case it is about the same). This is because the demo version does not let you run in “Power User” mode. Power User mode assumes that you know what you are doing and skips all the checks that are taking place when you access the YAV’s RAD Tools Global in the demo version. Here is what is skipped when you set “Powr=True” (instead of false as it is here). SaveDelims and RestoreDelims is skipped. SaveLocks and and RestoreLocks is also skipped. Some Freezes are also skipped. Further, “is empty?” checks life “etf()”, “eft()” etc. and “if empty substitute default value” checks such as “ies(,)” are also skipped. In this way, on slower Macintoshes you can recoup the extra 5 ticks or so that it takes to get into the YAV’s RAD Tools Global that you may be noticing here
