| ioSys | I wonder how much faster it would be to make the anaroch program with API calls instead of using a winsock control in it. just curious if it is some big winnings. (at leeast in the long run) :) (Its a program that retreives a page, filtering the data it gets and then its sending back the right request to the page again gaining experience) | July 28, 2003, 3:27 PM |

The overhead from using a control instead of api is magnitudes smaller than the overhead of round-trip-times. | July 28, 2003, 5:29 PM |
| ioSys | okey thanks! then my question got an answear. I tried a bot made by someone else. it seemed to be made in java and it was quite much faster than the one in vb....strange i think because i thougt that vb one was quite optimal. | July 29, 2003, 3:49 PM |

[/quote] Was it really faster or did it only seem faster? Perhaps it loaded urls blind instead of waiting for a response to the previous request? | July 30, 2003, 6:13 AM |
