Are External Scripts faster or more responsive than internal?
Thursday, December 13, 2007 by SirSmiley | Discussion: DesktopX
So, I'm working on a fairly large widget/gadget and have been noticing some lag's in responsiveness when I apply/save the main script.
This morning I moved most of it into an external file and have noticed DX's refresh time to be significantly better with just the main callbacks internally. Not to mention it's easier to navigate the subprocedures/functions from Notepad++.
Wondered if anyone else had noticed this or if my mind's playing tricks?
If it matters my base objects consist of 47 objects then depending on my testing add up to another 150 or so cloned objects.

Any problems I've found has been with callbacks. So, they're best left in the main object anyway.
