LSL Script Efficiency

What is Efficiency

PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Efficiency is how long it takes to run a script. For example, it is faster to do integer a = 3.1415926535 than integer a = PI. This is because it takes to computer time to determine the value for PI, and then set it to a.

For a similar reason, there are many random ways to speed up scripts, such as using ++a instead of a++.

Rules for posting

The following code snipit will allow testing of a function.

default {
  state_entry() {
    integer i = 0;
    while (i < 1) {
      ++a;
    }
  }
}

Things that are faster

++a is the fastest then there is a += 1 finally a++
